Certainly not. That's analogous to linking an unmodified glibc into
your application, which would not force you into releasing your code.

Put another way, if you treat DrScheme in pretty much the same way you
treat gcc (i.e., use it as a tool to build applications without
modifying the tool), the licensing result is the same.
