Hmm ... the planes in Flightgear are just models, they don't require simgear
and terragear to function. Furthermore I would find it extremely bizarre for
an airplane model to be a dependency in order for Flightgear to work.
I think it's reasonable to say there should be a clear separation between
content and code. Clearly you folks are bothered by the this Pro-sim guy's
constant mooching ... but the license allows him to do what he does. I have
no qualms about him distributing the core flightgear simulation program in
another form (hey let him be responsible for his own support), but I do
think it's unethical for people to make money off of our highly detailed
models and our artwork.
Our models and our code should be seen as two separate entities, that is all
that I'm suggesting.
Thanks,
