Nothing stops you from releasing that scenery under whatever license you'd like
( within the legal constraints ofourse), we just cannot include it in the
official scenery.
All those freeware/payware packages that are available for the commercial
simulators are just that, addons. The fact that FlightGear has a central
scenery and aircraft repo is really a big plus, but distributing stuff outside
those repos due to licensing, different opinions or the desire to gain more
credit for it, is not weird and definitely not unique.
