I'm not an licesnse expert, like you, but I think (or maybe I read it somewhere) that if you use something with GPL license all the derivated works would be GPL too, however the best idea is to ask a really expert.

2008/5/21 Nathan Whitehead <nwhitehe@xxxxxxxxx>:

I would like to include a quick reference to pygame functions in an
appendix of my book. Would it be permissible to use the documentation
of pygame for this (reformatted and possibly reorganized)?

It appears the documentation is LGPL. The source code of the appendix
would appear on the book's website (LaTeX source). The entire book
would not be LGPL. Some chapters will appear for free on the website,
others will not. I think this would be OK, but I'm not a license
expert. Any thoughts? Apart from legalities, would that be
appropriate?
