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.
