If you are statically linking libraries that do not use a GPL compatible 
license, you may not be able to legally distribute your code.  The GPL 
says is that if you make a derived work from a project that is GPL 
licensed which incorporates components that are not GPL'd, you can't 
distribute the derived work. It doesn't (and legally can't) force the 
GPL onto someone else's code.

P.S. Standard disclaimers apply.  I am not a lawyer.  This is not legal
