I've posted many links to the material supporting the fact that the

You mean like this one?
<http://www.ipinfoblog.com/archives/Open%20Source%20Legal%20Issues.pdf>
The term, “mere aggregation,” has no legally established
meaning, but would seemingly cover cases where the
presence of a GPL program and another program is based
on convenience, rather than function. The term should be
read in juxtaposition to the coverage of derivative
works under GPL and to issues about whether GPL applies
to “collective works” as that term is defined in the
Copyright Act. Apparently, the intent here is to exclude
coverage of independently created software that might be
covered solely because the software and a GPL product are
included on a single storage medium for convenience.
Where the joint storage reflects an expressive or
technological purpose other than mere convenience, however,
this exception may not apply.
As usual, your links vitiate rather than support your thesis.
