Ok, that's what I was wondering. Is that true though? You can't "integrate" non-GPL software with GPL software? Anyway, it was just a vague query that I had.
You cannot create non-GPL'd software, very roughly, that integrates code from GPL'd software -- absent a separate license to do so -- unless it's an LGPL'd library.
You can create a program that, say, calls a GPL'd binary program and utilizes its results across an execv boundary, without having to GPL your code, but you can't *utilize source* without the license "infecting" your code.
IANAL; CNY.
