IANAL either, but wonder whether hard-coding the GPG program name and arguments
in your binary would not be sufficient to consider your program as linked to the
GPG executable.
This would mean the program would be bound by the GPL terms.
But, again, this is only a supposition, and you should get proper legal advice.
