I think the situation for OpenGL and OpenCL is comparable.
@Colin: Do you support Mike's statements?
I am also not a lawyer but I think I agree.

Yeah, unless they *ship* your library with it linked against a
proprietary OpenCL lib. Then maybe it gets blurry (well not for me:
*I'd* consider that a GPL violation). But even they, they are doing
something wrong, not you.
Put another way, the fact that someone else *could* do something with
your software that would be a GPL violation by no means stops you from
developing it.
Anyway, just my opinions not legal advice (of course),
