Whatever***. On mainframes (things like Cobol, PLX, etc.) this
is usually done by the SMP/E (installation and maintenance
product) by customers. Forget this technical morass that merely
obscures the fundamental issue for a moment. Let's talk about
purely source code distribution. How can an aggregation of the
CPL'ed and the GPL'ed stuff (e.g. in a tarball) possibly
trigger "GPL incompatibility"?

If the framing process does not create a derivative work, then
mounting [...] does not create a derivative work. What is more,
the ninth circuit erred in assuming that normal means of
mounting and displaying art are easily reversible. A painting
is placed in a wooden "stretcher" as part of the framing
process; this leads to some punctures (commonly tacks or
staples), may entail trimming the edges of the canvas, and may
affect the surface of the painting as well. Works by Jackson
Pollock are notoriously hard to mount without damage, given the
thickness of their paint. As a prelude to framing, photographs,
prints, and posters may be mounted on stiff boards using wax
sheets, but sometimes glue or another more durable substance is
employed to create the bond.
