As the GPL states, it protects the source file itself and all of its
derivates. That does not mean you cannot copy ideas that you took a
from GPLd source and put code you wrote yourself that benefits from
these ideas and put it under another license.
It basically means that you cannot use the source itself; although the
question what qualifies as a derivate and what not might not be
completely clear at all times.
