"If you just want to install two separate programs in the same system, it is not necessary that their licenses be compatible, because this does not combine them into a larger work."

gr-ucla requires gnuradio-core, and hence is not a separate program by GPL's definition.

You will note that the particular file you quoted is a "README" file that does not require GNU Radio for folks to read. It can have whatever license the author wishes, including the GR standard GPLv3 to FSF.

If you go into the source code of gr-ucla, most (all?) of those files are all GPLv3 to FSF.
