Well, everyone's free to create their own stuff and to put it onto
their private websites. Obviously. Nevertheless, in the spirit of a
project which has a long-standing tradition of being cordial with the
GPL, I'd rather encourage people to collect or create compilant data
for creating a seamless World Scenery instead of advertizing a
patchwork rug of private efforts under incompatible licenses.
It's a little bit tedious, John Holden certainly can tell you, but it's
possible.
Cheers,
Martin.
