I think you are confusing language. When the GPL talks about the Program, it refers to "any program or other work" licensed under the GPL; see section 0. It deals with collective (in contrast to derivative) works in just two paragraphs: one exempts "mere aggregation" from coverage; the other seems explanatory rather than normative. Calling that "great lengths" is a little deceptive. Michael
