It merely depends on the definition of "aggregation". I'd say that two
works that are only aggregated can be easily distinguished and
separated. This is not the case for a binary kernel module, from which
you cannot easily extract the firmware and code parts.
Not really... As a matter of fact, it's quite easy to separate those parts, at least as easy as it is to separate one story inside a book that contains an anthology of short stories. And the latter is not considered a derivative work, either.
