Is it safe to use GPL'ed api's in ur code? safe in the sense that one is 
not required to attach the GPL agreement in the code header..

A fellow programmer raised it once, saying that we need to refrain from 
using GPL'ed api's because ultimately the code will become GPL'ed too..

But i thought the code only becomes(or is required to be) GPL'ed  when 
it contains modifications of  gpl'ed code... or direct variations of it?

I thought it was safe to use GPL api's when u use them only as separate 
imported modules(without mods)?
