The copyright of the program is clearly mine. The copyright of the functions linked into my program is that of the functions copyright holder. The license regulates my right to link the functions in my program. But unfortunately, the license tries to affect my copyrights to my program parts.

If the question comes to court (IIUC, this particular case has never been tested), you are just as likely to be ordered to pay for copyright infringement damages, rather than release your software under a GPL-compatible license. You'd have to rewrite it somehow as well, of course.
