CUPS driver licensing question

Subject: CUPS driver licensing question

If someone were to write a CUPS driver, but it did not link against any CUPS libraries (it just needed the CUPS headers to build), and wanted to distribute it for Mac OS X and Linux, would they be required to GPL their source?

I know Mac OS X specific drivers are exempted, but it's not clear to me from reading the license information that just using the headers to compile would cause you to have to GPL a driver for other platforms.

Thanks,
Dave
