Sure! Incidentally, this is the same for CC licenses, if you read carefully:
"8. e. [...] This License may not be modified without the mutual written 
agreement of the Licensor and You."

Oh, by the way, read the 1st line of the GNU GPL:
"Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this 
license document, but changing it is not allowed."
