This means that GPL software _must_not_ be used in a closed source
software.
It depends on what "used" means. For example, if the app is merely
executing a pdftex binary, then providing the sources that that built
that binary is sufficient.

Zdenek, in your case, wanting to link a GPL'd library, indeed,
I agree with your analysis. You are making one executable
-> not mere aggregation
-> all sources must be made available. --best, karl.
