Have you read the following FAQ entries on the Gnu website?
In what cases is the output of a GPL program covered by the GPL too?
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhatCaseIsOutputGPL
Can I use GPL-covered editors such as GNU Emacs to develop non-free
programs? Can I use GPL-covered tools such as GCC to compile them?

Is there some way that I can GPL the output people get from use of my
program? For example, if my program is used to develop hardware designs,
can I require that these designs must be free?
