Hi, MJ! Thanks for the pointer to the GPL FAQ. I've read it and found some things...

No it isn't, I'm afraid. http://www.fsf.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#MereAggregation only deals with code. The impression I get from reading the FAQ is that data does not have to be free at all. http://www.fsf.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#TOCIfInterpreterIsGPL states: "a free software license like the GPL, based on copyright law, cannot limit what data you use the interpreter on." Cheers, Mika
