It is possible. Please see [1], [2] and [3].

   [1] GPL-Compatible Free Software Licenses -- Public Domain.
       http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#GPLCompatibleLicenses

   [2] What does it mean to say that two licenses are compatible?

   [3] What does it mean to say a license is "compatible with the GPL"?
