Hyman, please stop ignoring the facts.

Facts such as 

http://www.redhat.com/licenses/rhel_us_3.html

"LICENSE AGREEMENT AND LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY RED HAT® ENTERPRISE
LINUX® AND RED HAT® APPLICATIONS

This agreement governs the use of the Software and any updates to the
Software, regardless of the delivery mechanism. The Software is a
collective work under U.S. Copyright Law. "

and 

http://www.novell.com/products/opensuse/eula.html

"The Software is a collective work of Novell"

Note that Red Hat's and Novell's collective works (compilations aka
"mere aggregations" in GNU-speak) contain tons of non-GPL components
even "incompatible" with the GPL.
