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

Therefore, I would think that one *can* distribute both source codes
together, even when part of it is closed source.
