Aggregation.

[Ross N. Williams]

Has anyone come up with clean simple language that resolves the
ambiguity of the concept of "aggregation" in the GNU GPL?

For example Larry Wall felt moved to clarify its application in the
case of PERL modules (some GPL, some not) that are shipped together
as code to be executed as a whole. (He said that a module does not fall
under the GPL unless it's author explicitly places it under the GPL).

Clearly, shipping code on a disk side by side is mere aggregation, but it
gets messier when you have interpreted languages and so on. At what
point of integration do two works become part of a whole?

Don't want to reinvent the wheel. Has anyone got some language for me?

Ross.
