Also, IANAL, but GPL "TERMS AND CONDITIONS" part 0 says:
The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a
"work based on the Program" means either the Program or any
derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work
containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or
with modifications and/or translated into another language.
DT is a language, so i think we are on shaky ground if we did not
consider the possibility it is a derived work.
