kernel/module.c:1259 disagrees with you.

static inline int license_is_gpl_compatible(const char *license)
{
    return (strcmp(license, "GPL") == 0
        || strcmp(license, "GPL v2") == 0
        || strcmp(license, "GPL and additional rights") == 0
        || strcmp(license, "Dual BSD/GPL") == 0
        || strcmp(license, "Dual MPL/GPL") == 0);
}

AFAICS, this is just plain deception. I suggest reading
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=108304056922350&w=2
especially the part about talking to lawyers.
