Thanks.

Don't assume. You want to release code mixed with GPL code, but don't want
to be bothered by respecting the licensing terms of the authors who came
before you, created that piece of code you find irresistible to use, and
GPL'ed their work. Don't know how I can help you there, but here are your
options:

1) Write your own code from the ground up. Pick whichever license makes you
happy.
2) Don't release code which is based on or interfacing with GPL'ed code. You
can still use it for personal needs.
3) Respect the GPL license of the authors whose code you are using, and
contribute your code as GPL.
4) Don't write any code at all, become a used car salesman.

Notice how "have your cake and eat it too" is not a legitimate option.
