Make no mistake. linking to GPL code, allows to you develop once a module that 
you will never be publish, for yourself or only one customer (you should give 
him the source however and the customer should be free to publish it as GPL).

What is not allowed by GPL, is, just like some very few bastards companies 
seems to do unfortunately, is that you develop a module linking to OpenERP 
(having a dependency upon objects defined in GPL code of OpenERP) and then 
resale it to several folks/customers, without publishing the source publicly 
under the GPL.

Now, there are also workarounds and you can play with limits. You can for 
instance control OpenERP remotely using webservices with frameworks such as 
OOOR http://code.google.com/p/ooor/ (or some M$ designer plugins) and not 
redistribute the code because it doesn't "link" to OpenERP objects in memory 
buy simply interoperate with it with text messages (webservices). Still, 
working with open source without being really part of it, is just a plain 
stupid short term vision IMHO.

Hope this helps
