No, the GNU GPL grants you the rights to
 0. run it for any purpose
 1. study & modify it
 2. reditribution of pristine copies
 3. redistribution of derivatives

All this just like the BSD. However, unlike the BSD, it does so in a reciprocal
level: if you redistribute in the conditions of 2. or 3. you must license it
under these (the GNU GPL's) terms.

It's closer to include than imply, if you want to use these terms, since
satisfying the BSDL means allowing proprietary derivatives, which the GPL aims
to forbid.
