A user isn't required to accept GNU GPL license terms to simply use it. The user should be allowed to install a software released under the terms of GNU GPL even if the user refuses to accept the license terms. GNU GPL cares the modification and (re)distribution of the software. Not its mere use. Edit: Remove the previous edit. (If you are never releasing/distributing the combined work into public, it is Okay to link your code with an [AL]GPL code and use as you wish).
