I don't think this is a problem. The following licenses are all
GPL-compatible:

* The modified BSD licence: "Redistributions in binary form must
reproduce the above copyright notice, this list of conditions and
the following disclaimer in the documentation and/or other materials
provided with the distribution."

* Standard ML of New Jersey Copyright Notice: "provided that [...] both
the copyright notice and this permission notice and warranty disclaimer
appear in supporting documentation"
