When you're referencing NAV CANADA charts here, I fear this charts and your work can't be published under GPL terms, because you don't get this charts for free and commercial use is prohibited explicitly. I think you are over-doing this one. If the charts are just used as a reference or source, and not republished in some way, then the 3d model produced is analogous to the 3d model of an aircraft produced with reference to 3 view drawings. Syd is only using them to check the positions of parts of his work. Syd's finished work is original, the copyright is owned by him, and can have any licence he cares to give it IMO. BTW - if I am wrong - then almost all the work on all our 3d models cannot be GPL.
