As far as I can undestand, the BSD license is not fully compatible with GPL
unless it is either the New BSD License/Modified BSD License or the
Simplified BSD License/FreeBSD License, which have been verified as GPL
compatible by FSF [1]. Maybe you could consider to use ImageMagik instead,
which is released under Apache 2 license, which seems compatible with GPL3
[3].
Anyhow I'm not an expert and maybe someone may correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks,

madi
