Based on your description, it sounds like you are creating an aggregate
work. If you created a derivative work of a GPL work, then you would be
bound by the terms of the GPL in terms of releasing source code
modifications. I recommend that you consult with a lawyer or other
suitable expert to determine if your project is in fact considered or
not considered a derivative work in your legal jurisdiction.
