There are already 565 airplanes to choose from in git (all licensed GPL). More 
than enough for me, if you ask.

You obviously don't know anything about copyright law.

So instead, you want to have countless unusable models because their authors 
lost interest and they are no more compatible with the current FlightGear 
version and nobody being able to fix this because the license doens't permit?

How exactly would this be better than having 565 airplanes already with more 
coming all the time?

All advanced airplane models contain code (Nasal). So you're arguing for using 
GPL for models as well. Ok.
