If you link against GPL code, your code needs to be GPL compatible. There are some IPC based workarounds, but they are too annoying and slow in most cases.

LGPL exists too.

Sure, but the thread was initially about GPL.

When I see expressions like "GPL > MIT" I understand them more as comparing license families, not specific licenses.
