What exactly do you think is non-GPL in my interpretation? Lot of
commercial software is done using gcc; where does this differ?
This is not the place to discuss the GPL. Go and read it, and its
exegesis at www.gnu.org and other sites about OSS licenses.

the modifications to others that might benefit from them. This is how GPL
works in a nutshell.
The main flaw in the above is that you have to publish the source code
of an application that includes GPLed code, regardless of whether you
modified it. The definition of "includes" is hairy, which is why here is
not the place to discuss licensing.
