If the process was automatic, there would effectively be no difference between shipping it with it directly and so this is clearly a circumvention mechanism by which you try to "work around" the GPL to achieve the same result as distributing both component as a whole. The entire point of the GPL is to give "an edge" / "an advantage" to software that are also GPL. Hence forcing the application to be less practical, more of a burden to the user if it's not GPL is a _design_goal_ ... Cheers, Sylvain
