[Qgis-psc] Question on bundling QGIS installer with proprietary software

Hi, 

One of our recent QGIS bronze sponsors (http://www.geos-hellinge.de/)
asks me if he is allowed to bundle the QGIS installer with his own
proprietary geodetic software, to allow a good integration of the two
systems. 

I said that most likely, that this is not possible, but that I will ask
the QGIS PSC. 

Am I right, that a combined installer of GPL with proprietary software
is not possible? But if he provides something like a batch file that
first installs the proprietary software and then runs QGIS 2.14 LTR as a
separate independent installer, this may be allowed - is this correct? 

Here is the original question in german language: "Ich habe noch eine
Frage zur Installation von QGIS: Ich würde gerne eine QGIS-Installation
zusammen mit unserem vermessungstechnischen Programmsystem KAVDI in
einem Setup für unsere Kunden bereitstellen. Das hätte den Vorteil, dass
das Zusammenspiel zwischen KAVDI und QGIS  "Out of the box"
funktioniert.
Ist das lizenztechnisch erlaubt ?" 

Thanks for a clarification, 

Andreas
