Understood. Thanks to all for the clarification.

I'm actually considering a dedication to the public domain. So to 
clarify the direct issue: My understanding is that I cannot take code 
that is under the GPL and copy/paste it into a project that I want to 
dedicate to the public domin. Correct?

A further question: can GPL code be safely included in a package 
released under the LGPL?

I.e., would it be possible to package all GPL code that I want to use in 
an LGPL library and use that from a public domain package?
