I later found this: <

merely aggregating GPL and non-GPL software would not violate the GPL. That

Interesting point. I hope the same principle of aggregation covers this
usage as well.

non-free software, invoke their installers when my software is installed,
and invoke them via command lines using 'exec.' It appears from the above
that this is permissible.
