I thought about this some more and have come to the conclusion that 
Urban Terror indeed abides by this condition perfectly. The licenses 
that come with the UrbanTerror/ioUrbanTerror 'aggregate' are the GPL for 
the ioUrbanTerror part and the sdk for the Urban Terror part. This is 
clearly discribed in the readme's and/or during the installation 
process. So users are not being prohibited from exercising rights that 
each program's individual license would grant them. Thus aggregating 
them is fine. Thanks Anthony.
