Not at all. The "mere aggregation" clause of the GPL is simply an explanation of what is already true without that clause. It does not grant any additional permissions beyond what copyright law already permits. It is the equivalent of saying that when I have permission to make copies of two separate books, I may ship those two copies in the same box. Those permissions do not give me the right to create an omnibus edition combining the two books into a single one. You are demonstrably incorrect since copyright law is at pains to define the concepts of "collective work" and "compilation". > In alternative, consider also: > http://www.usfca.edu/law/determann/softwarecombinations060403.pdf What for? What's there is irrelevant and incorrect. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
