No, try: "Do I want the end users of my software to have rights?"
That's what GPL ensures. You can use GPL software anywhere but if you're giving it to other people, you have to give them the same rights you were afforded. And sometimes that also means giving them access to your software too.
LGPL exists too. Makes it a bit more simple for drop-in-libraries.
