You "infect" the port, then. It doesn't matter if other parts of the  
ports are already GPL but if this is the only GPL part, everybody  
using this port's code has to make his use (of the GPL'd part) public.

This is why I recommended replacing getline() usage with something  
similar. Removing code is better than replacing code is better than  
adding code.
