Is it really? I remember some incompatibilities with using GPL'ed and NPL'ed source code together... but I don't have a copy of the NPL around to check. The NPL is a very complicated license, and there are some "backdoors" for netscape to use code in their server without being subject to the same conditions as everyone else. OTOH, the GPL is very restrictive on what you can do with the source. Have we a case here were two dfsg-free licenses are incompatbile with each other? This would be sad...
