Clarified language to bring it more squarely on-topic and more readable.

GPLv3 frontend and BSD backend, do I have to disclose the backend source?

I've gone through a couple of Question on GPL here, but all of them are related to the compiled languages, libraries and distribution.

My web project has a backend that is BSD licensed. The front end is a GPLv3 licensed JavaScript framework which renders a background image that doesn't link to anything from the backend and only renders in the web browser.

Am I required to make available the backend code to the public if I use the GPLv3 licensed library? We are not modifying the GPLv3 licensed library, just using it as is.
