You are free to mix the code with other code, though. All DFSG free licenses allow modification, which is exactly that. The only licenses which allows you to freely mix the code with any other code regardless of license are the BSD and X and related licenses. Making a GPL-only distribution is just an exercise in limiting your options in such a way that you can still mix everything you've got, but so you've got a maximal amount of software...
