No if you derive from GPL then you must release your program
as GPL and you may not release it with a "GPL compatible"
license.

Otherwise it would be to easy to circumvent it, just get a
GPL program, add a comment, call it something else
and re-release it as BSD.

 From the GPL FAQ:

Q: If a library is released under the GPL (not the LGPL),
does that mean that any program which uses it has to be under the GPL?
A: Yes, because the program as it is actually run includes the library.
