..thank you both, but _which_ GPLv2, GPLv2-only or GPLv2-and-later?
http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php?title=Main_Page points to:
http://wiki.flightgear.org/index.php?title=GPL which again points to:
http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html which again makes this all so
much more interesting. ;o)

..thanks, a wee return favor: "Pacific Northwest" points to w130n40.zip,
"Switzerland and Southwest Germany BETA Scenery" points to e000n40.tar,
"Download Washington/Baltimore Landclass" points to Terrain.zip, 
"Download Oakland Landclass" points to w130n30.zip and
"Download London Landclass" points to London_Landclass.zip, these are
drop-in replacements meant for e.g. FG-git and FGScenery-1.0.1 down in
my case ~/FG-Scenery/1.0.1/Terrain/?
