We know the *precise* list of files that we have rights to. They are explicitly specified in the software grant recorded by the Secretary. For all other files not listed: we have no special rights. Those files would be under their original license, terms, and copyrights. There isn't much gray area here. The biggest problem is how to replace the stuff that we don't have rights to. And that is a problem for the podling's community to solve.
