Okay, I know this has probably been rehashed hundreds of times, but I
was under the impression that merely using a piece of GPL source in my
code didn't affect the rest of my code.  Is this wrong?  Even if I
don't modify the code at all?  If I modify it, isn't it true that all
I have to do is publish the source for my modifications in the event I
release the software to the public?

Thanks,
Carl
