GPLv2, section 2 explicitly allows aggregation: | In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program | with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of | a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under | the scope of this License. Therefore, I would think that one *can* distribute both source codes together, even when part of it is closed source. Best Ole
