David A. Wheeler has published a "license slide", a figure that makes it easy to see when common licenses can be combined: "There are a large number of Free-Libre / Open Source Software (FLOSS) licenses, but only a few are widely used. The widely-used licenses tend to be compatible, i.e., the software can be combined to produce a larger work."
