Chris is right.

It can only be good if images of flightgear sold any which way cause 
people to want the product itself.

Personally, since gpl allows even the sale of the software itself, I 
find it hard to believe a case can be made that images of the software 
in action can't be sold.

Also people involved with flightgear have to realize the originally 
reason many of us proposed the linux type cooperative flightsim project 
that became flightgear was to provide some good alternatives to more 
restrictive software that existed at the time.

Specifically  people were worried then whether commercial owners of 
those products like microsoft would suddenly disallow addons etc.

Therefore it would be ridiculous for flightgear suddenly to start being 
litigeous about people making derivative use of flightgear!
