No. It must be GPL-compatible, but it need not be the GPL. For example, you can reuse a third party's MIT-licensed code in your code, and that software does not suddenly receive the restrictions of the GPL--in fact, if you havn't modified the code enough to have a copyright claim in it (which you often don't have to do, with well-written code), you don't have any grounds to be placing the GPL's restrictions on that code at all. -- Glenn Maynard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
