A aggregate does not require the same or compatible licensing terms. 
Copyright laws and hence GPL does cannot limit that. You can very well 
distribute and combine distinct (non linked) GPL and GPL incompatible 
code and distribute the end result. All mainstream Linux distributions 
have several GPL compatible and incompatible licenses in the end product.
