Je crois que l'application peut rester "propriétaire". Toutefois, je crois 
qu'il faut que la séparation soit claire. 

Je crois que ce qui touche le plus à ta question dans la GPL, est la portion 
suivante:

"These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable 
sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be
reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this 
License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when
you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same 
sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program,
the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose 
permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to
each and every part regardless of who wrote it. 

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your 
rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the
right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on 
the Program. 

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with 
the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume
of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the 
scope of this License."

Le mieux reste souvent de demander directement à l'auteur du logiciel 
OpenSource par courriel.
