I think this is the relevant part of the GPL, but you should still read

10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the
author
to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software
and
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
