Any license not listed in include/linux/module.h is not GPL compatible. That list is currently (2.4.11)
"GPL" [GNU Public License v2 or later] "GPL and additional rights" [GNU Public License v2 rights and more] "Dual BSD/GPL" [GNU Public License v2 or BSD license choice] "Dual MPL/GPL" [GNU Public License v2 or Mozilla license choice]

No. Any license text not approved as GPL compatible is, by definition, incompatible.
