According to the "license" page on the website it seems not:

-----------------------------------
Human Readable License of Xoctave
For detailed license information please read following License section.

You are free:

to Share — to copy, distribute and transmit the work
to Remix — to adapt the work
Under the following conditions:

Attribution — You must attribute the work in the manner specified by
the author or licensor (but not in any way that suggests that they
endorse you or your use of the work).

What does "Attribute this work" mean?
The page you came from contained embedded licensing metadata,
including how the creator wishes to be attributed for re-use. You can
use the HTML here to cite the work. Doing so will also include
metadata on your page so that others can find the original work as
well.
Noncommercial — You may not use this work for commercial purposes.

-----------------------------------

I am dubious about the "attribution" clause but, even though IANAL, I
am quite sure that the non-commercial clause is incompatible with GPL.
