You can release the work as a compilation under a license of your
choosing, so long as all the components that make up your work are
licensed under a similar and compatible license.  As an example, if you
used a package that was under, for example, the ut2003 license, then you
could not license under any GPL-compatible license since you would be
unable to provide the source code for ut2003/4.
