Excuse me for my ignorance, but can you explain me why GPL is not compatible with CC? Quote from the GPL 3. preamble: "...the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free software for all its users."

I am not a lawyer to provide an explanation, but I can link to the FSF page, the entity that wrote the GPL: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#OtherLicenses

As far as I see, CC is about similar purposes. What makes them incompatible? What prevents you from using the Inkscape logo?

Yep, similar, but not identical.
