"9. License Must Not Restrict Other Software

The license must not place restrictions on other software that is
distributed along with the licensed software. For example, the license
must not insist that all other programs distributed on the same medium
must be open-source software. "

"Distributed along with" is the same as "mere aggregation". It does not
cover statically linked executables. In any case, a listing of open source
licenses prepared by some organization is not binding on anything.
