Alright then, enlighten me.
Furthermore, the GPL's "mere aggregation" clause allows for non-GPL applications to run in GPL operating systems.Yes, but we're talking about the *reverse*. The mere aggregation clause is not relevant here.
Allow me to restate, then. Mere aggregation also allows GPL applications to run under a non-GPL kernel.
