Please get a clue before calling others incorrect and
"counter-productive". You are completely wrong. One thing is that you
actually believe what you say, another is repeating it to others
thoughtlessly, thereby propagating FUD.
A quote from the GPL FAQ (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html):
Q: You have a GPL'ed program that I'd like to link with my code to build
a proprietary program. Does the fact that I link with your program
mean I have to GPL my program?
A: Yes.
