Since GPL and GMGPL - as far as I understand it - only differ in the
case of libraries and not in the case of programs, you might be able to
do it, but I suspect that there may be some wierd details that can get
you in trouble.
I think it is safer to use GPL in such a case.
Since GMGPL is comes with fewer restrictions than GPL, you should in
general avoid GMGPL'ing code that uses GPL'ed code.
I am unsure of how GMGPL and LGPL relates, but I have a feeling that
GMGPL also has fewer restrictions than LGPL.
Greetings,
Jacob
PS: If you are really serious about this, you should pay your lawyer a
lot of money to tell you that he/she is not quite sure about this
either.
