I do not believe they are "part of a whole which is a work based on..". In this case I believe they are independant works that are merely aggregated. The alternate position would be that a general interface between two independent works somehow made them one. That would just as equally say that firefox and the web are one work. > Do you believe that copyright law _prevents_ the GPL from making > requirements about those separate works, in such a way that still lets > you distribute the GPL'd work without complying with the licence? That would seem to be a "how often do you beat your wife" question. The underlying falsehood being that the GPL licence is not being complied with I don't need your permission to copy the firmware for the tg3 driver I need the permission of Broadcom.
