No.

You can choose whatever license you want for the parts you wrote. IBPP 
stays under IBPP license. So the "whole" program uses code under 
different licenses. This is not a problem if both licenses allow that 
(i.e. they are "compatible").

One example of such combination is Flamerobin -- its "main" code uses 
the Expat license, while IBPP stays with its own license.
