The only thing that the GPL is "incompatible" with is the GPL
itself. FSF's "GPL incompatibility" claims are barred by the
doctrine of copyright misuse and the doctrine of first sale.
The GPL states it clearly that copies and derivative works
must be distributed under the terms of the GPL and only the
GPL. It just can't restrict anything else. The FSF theory of
derivative works is total crap, however.
