What is bundling?

What is bundling in the sense of <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries>?

In my opinion, the page deals with source package contents.

But there are other things a package can do "bundle" things in the binary packages, by copying code and data from installed packages in the build root. These have comparable negative effects to bundling at the source package level. Examples are static linking (already covered elsewhere), Java "static" linking (jarjar, Maven bundling, perhaps others), things like minify/lstrip/fatpack, copying programs and .so files out of the build root, etc.

Are these post-SRPM copying mechanism in scope for the "no bundled libraries" page, or should they be covered in other places?
