If I understand correctly, you wish to use code that other people have 
written and published under the GPL. These people made the free choice 
put the conditions of the GPL on the code. I don't see how it is 
anything other than improper to reuse the code in a public domain 
setting. I prefer to respect the choices of the code's writers.
