Again, for each copy of "infringing" compilation/aggregation (that 
contains GPLed work) you might want to sell/distribute, I (or any 
one else) can "sell" you (and the entire world) a copy of the GPLed 
work you need that you can pass along without authorization of the 
copyright owner(s) under first sale doctrine. Idiotic "derived work" 
theories is the only way to make the [L]GPL work as intended by the
FSF.
