HL2 and the GPL

[MagnumPI]

Hello,

I was just wondering if HL2's texture content was compatible with the GPL (ie, could the textures be used in a GPL'd Quake 2 non-profit mod (hypothetically speaking) legally?

given the extensive mod support given by valve I was just unsure of the legal standing, thanks for your help.

No. Using Valve content in other Valve games is fine, generally speaking, but using it in another game is right out unless you have written permission from Valve.
