GPL is viral, meaning whenever you combine it with some other
license, you'll need to release your software as GPL.
What about the public domain license? can i license the code that
is in public domain also in GPL?
public domain is not a license. It means that the author has given
up his copyright. So you license your code under GPL, and in your
license you mention xyz part of the application is public domain
code. You cant license the public domain code, but you can license
your modification of the public domain code under GPL
