Doesn't matter, software that functions together is a block. Think of it
this way: Would GM allow a car dealership to put in, say, Toyota parts into
their cars and sell it as a whole? After all, Toyota is building their parts
from the ground up, not using any GM parts. In other words, packaging makes
a difference. If a piece of software depends on another to function as a
package, demanding that the licenses be compatible makes sense to me.
