A mere use of the GPL'd code doesn't make the rest of the program (which is nothing but a collection of modules/subroutines) a DERIVATIVE of those 100 lines of GPL'd code if that portion can be replaced by a "clean room" implementation. I say that all you need to do is to state the availability of the GPL'd source code for THAT PORTION of the program to comply with the unclear and ambiguous terms of the GPL for the entire program, CD-ROM, "image", "executable", and whatnot. regards, alexander.
