The spirit of the GPL is that people should be able to write code, and
give it away, without other people profiting from that, or erasing their
copyrights. It also means that people should always have to ability to
modify the software.
As long as the users of the application aren't likely to request that
they can add their own features, that you aren't obscuring copyright
notices, and that you aren't selling on closed-source versions of it, it's
OK.
