The "unified program" is an extension of a GPL-covered work or a
larger program which has been formed by being combined with a GPL-
covered work, just as the GPL describes.

Separate permission is required from rights holders every time a
work is copied and distributed as part of a collective work, and
the rights holders may choose to distinguish what permissions they
grant based on the nature of the collective work, or in fact based
on anything at all.

The creators of the GPL choose to grant different permission based
upon whether a covered work is included as part of an aggregate on
a distribution medium, or whether it is integrated into a single
program.

Your willful misinterpretation of the permissions granted by the
GPL serves your purposes as an anti-GPL crank, but fools no one.
