Without going into details (in that I haven't read the source or the
licenses in detail, just the GPL compatibility matrix) those are _all_
likely incompatibilities.
Also without reading the source, just the license tags, all of those
"Lessers" and "pluses" make most of them compatible. Even Perl's
"unholy" license (really (GPL+ or Artistic) and (GPLv2+ or Artistic)
and Copyright Only and MIT and Public Domain and UCD) as a whole
basically boils down to GPLv2+ which is okay (and in reality, it's
only the (GPL+ or Artistic) bits that link with gdbm). The only other
incompatibility seems to be ruby-libs with (Ruby or GPLv2).
