Some relevant bits about the GPL:
-You have to give anyone you destribute the program to the source code if your program uses any GPL code. If you don't destribute it, you don't have to give away source code. So no.
-With the GPL you can also remove all of the GPL code from your program and do whatever you want with your own code. (ex. you could write a program using GPLed libs, open source it, use your own source code from the app to write a different program, and keep that one closed source)

...If I understand the GPL correctly.
