The clause that causes GPL problems in the original BSD was the following license terms:

display the following acknowledgement: This product includes software developed by the University of California, Berkeley and its contributors.
That would seem equivalent to
* 4. Redistributions of any form whatsoever must retain the following * acknowledgment: 'This product includes software developed by the * "Universidad de Palermo, Argentina" (http://www.palermo.edu/).'
so it would seem that your software is BSD with advertising clause.
I don't agree that it is equivalent to BSD with advertising clause. The question is whether the acknowledgement clause makes the license GPL-incompatible in the same way that the advertising clause in the old BSD license made it GPL-incompatible.
Ack.. and I forgot my IANL I am just trying to be helpful clause on my email. My apologies for making things muddier.
