Is my ASP.NET MVC project automatically GPL 2.0 licensed by including these libraries? I always find this confusing with the GPL.

+2  A: 

Yes, it is. You'll be statically referencing their code. That clearly falls under the "requires a GPL-compatible license" areas.

You can, of course, buy a commercial license or use a different component if you don't want to GPL your project.

If your app requires a GPLed library, then [your app must be released under a GPL-compatible license.](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#IfLibraryIsGPL)
