[ale] OT: GPL Question

[Jeffrey B. Layton]

Hello,

   I apologize for asking this question because it's a
bit OT and it might stur up some arguments.
However, this is probably the best forum I know to
ask this question.
   If I install a piece of software that is licensed under
GPL, say a mathematical library, and write my own
code that just calls functions within the library (I
have not modified the library in any way and do not
statically link the library), do I have to license my
code under GPL? My initial gut feel is I can license
my software any way I want, but this is brewing
into a controversary at work and I want to get some
input (and any links) before discussing this with the
attorneys.

TIA,

Jeff
