Because just like with combined executable, copying source code doesn't
create a derivative work. If anything, it creates a compilation. When
you print two short stories on the same sheet of paper (or PDF), you're
not creating a derivative work. And the same goes when you put several
pieces of source code under different licenses in one file. Think
tarball.

Yeah, "new program"? That "new program" is nothing but a compilation
(as in copyright law) of multiple computer program works.
