Yes, but you also have to make the source code available.

See this part of the FAQ:
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DistributeWithSourceOnInternet

The most convenient thing to do is simply to include the source on the
CD. The GPL is included in the source tarball, and I think it is also
included with the win32 installer.

MR. LEVY:  I'm sorry, your Honor. I actually have a technology expert
  with me. Would the Court like to or would they agree to hear a very
  brief statement on this point from that expert?
THE COURT: No.    -- MPAA v. Reimerdes injunction hearing, 2000/01/21
