ext2 would consistute a distribution method, so the 'mere aggregation' rule
applies. glibc has a waiver in its license permitting linkage to closed
source apps, ld-linux is the main Linux loader, which has a 'standard system
calls' exception in its version of the GPL, and libpthread is LGPL, again
permitting dynamic linkage to closed source apps.
Where is the GPL violation?
