The Intel Open Source license is identical to the BSD license with the following section added
The extra section does not add to the terms of the license, rather it reminds users of U.S. export laws. As such the IOSL is functionally identical to the BSD license, and so is GPL compatible (i.e., software distributed under the IOSL can be relicensed as GPL, and so can be included in GPL software).
Intel has voluntarily retracted the license from the OSI list of open source licenses to prevent license proliferation. Intel has ceased to use or recommend this license.
