It seems to me to mislead as to the copyright ownership, mislead
as to the rights under the GPL (people can extract the GPLed 
material without mentioning your package, but the implication
is to the contrary) and confuse styles
of licence with the copyrights that those licenses relax, not to
mention begging the defintion of breaking into two.

IANAL

It didn't seem misleading to me. The tomsrtbt license is applied to the 
*aggregation* of other software.

His updated license clarifies this, and I don't see any OSD problems with it.
