The usual contention is that having some helper function load the firmware is sufficient to resolve the concern. That suggests to me that the parts being together -- at least in that case -- is a matter of convenience, not of necessity. That is what I would use to test for "mere aggregation" (when one is not a derivative work of the other). Michael
