No. As long as you don't create any derivative works (under the 
copyright statute and the case law, not "colloquially"), share-alike 
reciprocation provision doesn't apply to your works. And they can be 
distributed together with the GPL'd stuff. Even static linking is no 
problem. Don't take "SCO-ish" FSF propaganda seriously.
