AFAIK, GlusterFS follows GPLv3 license so you should obey that in the
same manner with including GPLv3 license file copied in order to let it
be under the GPLv3. and you must open any code which modified according
to your needs.

If your software is placed in same memory area with GlusterFS
library(Static/Dynamic linkage with them), it is "derived work" be under
the GPL so you must be open for it. However you will not need to open it
probably if you just use executable.
