Interesting.  I'm probably blowing this way out of proportion, but I
like legal brain teasers.  :-)

Do we need to get a clarification from AF Scrub what "source" means?
The GPL requires that the "source" be treated a certain way.  In the
case of GPLing 3D models, it should be established what "source" form
is.  Do any changes we make have to be made available in MSFS format?

It would be nice if we had an open model format that we could say,
"Format XYZ is considered 'source form' for all 3D models.  MSFS,
3dsMax, etc are considered 'compiled forms.'"  And then follow the GPL
accordingly, just like we do with the source package.
