Should be no problem there, the GPL applies only to code, not data. Think for example of using OpenOffice to write your great novel, is the novel therefore under the GPL? No it isn't. It's the code that is governed by the GPL, not the use of the code. The only problem might come in how you get the data into your new program. If you include non-GPL code from the upstream system to import the data, then that would be wrong. If you're just importing a file of data using code you wrote yourself, then no problem at all.
