IANAL, and I am just a licensing enthusiast.

If I am not mistaken (which I easily may be, so anyone is free to tear
this mail to shreds), the FSF's stance is that yes, this consitutes a
derivative work and henceforth, you are required to use GPLv2 or later as
well.

Spot or someone from Legal will surely give you a sounder answer.
