Thank you for the tips
I understand your concerns. I took the panel from
the package b707-436v2.zip from John Carty.
In the package there is a GPL-license.
If this is enough, then everything is OK regarding the panel.
I wrote John a mail and told him, what Iam going to do,
but I got no answer.
If this is not enough, then the base package is the wrong place.
I can't check, if there is copyright infringement in b707-436v2.zip
Addionally I removed the Microsoft-Artwork
The 3d-model and flightmodel is from Innis Cunnigham.
From him I got the following anwser on the Flightgear-userlist
Hello Hans-Georg
I guess the 707 and flightmodel comes under the GPL so I guess
you can modify it as you wish maintaining the terms of the GPL.

Those icons at the top, just right of the menu bar. I'm pretty sure
that they come from MSFS, and thus are probably under a license

there probably are no such buttons in a real 707 anyway.
Yes, that are MSFS icons and it's true that the 707 does not have
such icons, but: your screen never will have the dimensions to show
up a whole cockpit at once.
Yikes. Folks, we have to be really, REALLY careful about this kind of
thing. Are we absolutely, 100% sure we know the authorship and
copyright ownership on this thing? All of it? If not, it just can't
go into the base package. My fear is that other parts will turn out
to be screenshots from MSFS too...
At a mimimum, I'd suggest getting documents frmo Hans-Georg and George
Carty attesting to ownership and including them in the Aircraft
directory. Copyright infringement, even unintentional, is no joke.
