Permission to reproduce the GPL'd work is given apart from the GPL permission to prepare derivative works
Permission is given to copy and distribute source code of GPLed works verbatim under the GPL. Incorporating an element into a collective work in object code form is not copying verbatim. Permission to copy and distribute such an element is granted by the GPL only when the work as a whole is distributed under the GPL.

The definition of aggregate and aggregation in the GPL distinguishes between copyrighted works being bound together into a single program or being loosely associated on a distribution medium. There is no trouble distinguishing between these cases, except in the febrile imaginations of those who are unable to face the fact that the GPL works exactly as intended for statically linked programs.
Stop being utter idiot, Hyman.
