Have your company's lawyers read the GNU Public License and answer that
for you.  It's quite well explained exactly what the GPL allows and
doesn't allow on <http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html> and
<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html>.  This is not a legal advice
mailing list, and answering legal questions is not the purpose of this
list.
