Got it now?
No, of course not. Daniel Wallace and you are both people who
deliberately choose to misinterpret the GPL for your own purposes.
Naturally, courts see through such flimflam, and no amount of
blustering on the internet can counter that.
GPLv2 says
<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html>
Thus, it is not the intent of this section 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 based on the
Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on
the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the
Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium
does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
It is clear, therefore, that GPLv2 distinguishes between mere
aggregations and collective works which are not mere aggregations,
so repeatedly claiming that it does not is foolish.
