With such a condition:

"Commercialization of this product is prohibited without notifying the
Department of Energy (DOE) or Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)."

it cannot be GPL compatible (as it is not free software). So it cannot be
distributed together with GPL licenced code (or the other way around,
choose what you prefer...).
