It must be. Unless there is a complete re-write of the functionality not using any past or current code that is GPL. If any part is based on past GPL code then per the GPL it must be freely available and also be licensed under the GPL. http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html "b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License." "These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it." -- William L. Thomson Jr. Gentoo/Java
