Unless you want to give away all your code, it'd be best to use different code. If you don't mind giving away all your code, then no problem. If it were LGPL instead, it would be less of an issue, so long as the code didn't need to go into the kernel, and you were willing to distribute everything else as .o files to meet the relink clause.
