But OOo is not licences under GPL it is dual licensed under LGPL & 
SISSL. This allow you to...

"Create a Larger Work by combining Original Code with other code not 
governed by the terms of this License and distribute the Larger Work as 
a single product. In such a case, You must make sure the requirements of 
this License are fulfilled for the Original Code."

So only the source of the original must be provided.
