I get the impression that you have problems to understand even very obvious
parts of the GPL, it seems that you would need to enhance your english.....
The GPL discriminates between "the work" (which needs to be under GPL)
and "the complete source" which is a superset of "the work" and other parts
that do not need to be under GPL.
