That permission is the non-derivative work copyright permission (Section
1 and 3 in the GPLv2). And 'mere aggregation' clause in Section 2 just
makes it abundantly clear that components of the collective work don't
fall under the GPL. See for example
http://www.redhat.com/licenses/rhel_us_3.html
"LICENSE AGREEMENT AND LIMITED PRODUCT WARRANTY RED HAT® ENTERPRISE
LINUX® AND RED HAT® APPLICATIONS
This agreement governs the use of the Software and any updates to the
Software, regardless of the delivery mechanism. The Software is a
collective work under U.S. Copyright Law. "
note that Red Hat's collective work contains tons of non-GPL components
even "incompatible" with the GPL.

alexander.
