No, if you distribute it only in-house, it doesn't matter at all.

If you distribute it outside your organisation, you need to license it
under a *GPL compatible* license (like BSD, the new Python license and
many others). Check out the FSF/GNU site on what they and their
lawyers consider "compatible".
