But you see, mathew, the code you describe as "MY code" _isn't_ your code.
Merely because you wrote it doesn't mean that it's your code; if you use
GPL code with it the code you wrote is no longer yours. So nobody's telling
you what you can do with your own code....
(People have actually said this, and probably will again. The flaw should be
obvious.)
