Well doesn't your work derive some functionality
from the imported code? Does your code work without
the import?

People need to understand once and for all that
GPL is about "forcing" you to make your program
open source. Whether that sounds right
or wrong to you, whether you like it or hate it
is irrelevant.

Obviously no one like suddenly realize that they are
bound by GPL  but everyone must keep this in mind
*before* choosing that path.
