I think, we can answer this with a clear yes:
As an analogy:
You can use a Windows (TM) command line interpreter to
start and interact with a GPL programm that in turn
call the Windows (TM) operating system services
without the need to relicense the Windows (TM) operating
system under the GPL.
I would expect that you can use any freely available
(freely available does not mean non-commercial)
product and combine it with GPL components as
long as you license *your* integration code under
GPL and you do not distribute the non-GPL components
in the same package as the GPL components.
Another example:
You build a complex system consisting of GPL components
and a commercial database (say Oracle).
I do not expect RMS to require Oracle to become GPL in order
for GPL components to interact with it.
Not yet, at least.
