That is exactly what I meant.
I personally dont want my work integrated into a closed source project. I dont mind if someone sells my software but they still have to provide the source. The university I attend has lots a java libraries that they have written and they are all released under the GPL. Obviously if I use one of those libraries in my program it does not have to be released under the GPL, but if I copy some of the code from the GPLed libraries into my program then it would have be be released under the GPL.
