No, GPL wrappers don't work:

    https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLWrapper

The only way you can obey the GPL is if you also provide the
corresponding source for all of the components of your package. One of
the components of your package is CUDA, and CUDA does not allow you to
provide its source. Because CUDA is so restrictive, you cannot
distribute it this way with Octave.
