The OP said that his program works without the GPLed scripts:

Which you turn into:

Now that's a factual error, isn't it?
Plus, you insist on using the word "deriviate", which does not exist in
English, hence my reference to another word that ends in "-iate".

You seem to argue that the OP's source code is a derivative work
because it uses "#include" type statements. As a person making a living
writing source code, I find that a very disturbing thought.
