How to (not) use GPL Software
Collective Works

"... it is not the intent .. to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works ..."

GPL controls "collective works"

"... mere aggregation of another work ... with the program on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work und the scope of this license"

GPL allows "mere aggregation"
like a general-porpose GNU/Linux distribution (SuSE, Red Hat, ...)
