If it uses no Linux code (which > it does not), then the GPL does not apply to it . except for section 2 which states that if parts are related (or at least not independent, for example when they are designed to exclusively work togethern), and one part is GPL, then both parts need to be, or you should not distribute the GPL part. This is not "your other code becomes gpl", it is "you can't distribute the GPL parts".
