I'm late to this discussion, but I'd like to point out that there is at 
least one GPL game for scummvm: http://www.ucw.cz/draci-historie/

On the topic of the games with the "may distribute it in aggregate [...] 
commercial software distribution", those are under a badly written but 
sufficiently free license. This position is backed by this similar case:

SIL Open Font License 1.1
"[...] when selling the font, you must redistribute it bundled with some 
software, rather than alone. Since a simple Hello World program will 
satisfy the requirement, it is harmless". The requirement is the same.
