[Help-gsl] Is linking to the GSL library considered a derivative work?

[Carl Boettiger]

Hello,

I have developed software which I would like to release under the more
permissive BSD license that links against the GSL libraries. As I am not
modifying or distributing the GSL source code, I am under the impression
that this is acceptable under the terms of GSL's GPLv3 license (i.e. I
don't have to make my code GSL).  Is this correct?  Or does merely linking
a GSL function make all my code GPL?

Thanks,

Carl
