..an honorable and reasonable request.  Are you and your add-on guys
able to fund the copyright enforcement litigation?

..wrong, FG's GPL license and copyright law covers _all_ authored 
content, it be code, docs, pictures, textures, fdms etc.

..once you modify someone elses content, you own your own 
modifications and can enforce your own copyrights in courts 
as vigorously as you damned please, and look forward to put 
those piracy abusers in jail.  

.._this_ is what scares Bill Gates et al about the GPL, it simply 
walks away and leaves you at the mercy of copyright law teeth 
in criminal courts, rather than cosy  decades of contract law 
litigation in civil courts.
