Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer and this does not constitute legal advice. Based on your description, it sounds like you are creating an aggregate work. If you created a derivative work of a GPL work, then you would be bound by the terms of the GPL in terms of releasing source code modifications. I recommend that you consult with a lawyer or other suitable expert to determine if your project is in fact considered or not considered a derivative work in your legal jurisdiction.
