With non sequitur nonsense ("...a larger program...", "if the
compilation and its resulting copyright...") snipped, it is no different
than

http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html

"AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS

A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate and
independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" [snip nonsense]. When the
Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not apply to the
other works in the aggregate which are not themselves derivative works
of the Document."

Stop being utter idiot, Hyman.
