I'd check with Legal on this one. According to
http://esl.epfl.ch/page-51743-en.html

"IMPORTANT INFORMATION:  Any usage of 3D-ICE for research, commercial or
other purposes must be properly acknowledged in the resulting products
or publications. Specifically, the publications 1 and 2 below must be
cited in all cases."

This looks to me (IANAL) to be in direct violation of the GPL license.
