No, not really, you can have a package that provide different binaries.
For example the samba package is mostly GPL software except for
pam_winbind and nss_winbind, which are not under the GPL. The "whole
package" does not mean much. It's the single binaries+libraries that
count.
Indeed single binaries and libraries may be under other licenses, but
the src.rpm is GPL.
I can very well see us distributing something like, let's say
Xorg, with
a little GPLed GUI in the same package, this does not make the whole
package GPLed.
If it is a single .src.rpm, it does. Now, as you said above, if the GPL
part can be put in a subpackage, then the remaining subpackages could be
under another license.
