Additionally if you when building the binary include GPL licensed
headers from the GPL licensed library you use as reference then the
binary will get tainted by the GPL license of the headers. This is very
obvious if those headers contain inline GPL licensed functions which
gets compiled into the application, but applies otherwise as well imho.
