Thank you, it perfectly matches my thoughts (new files, I can do
whatever with them; new content on existing files, I can do whatever
with the new content only; modifications on existing files, are
derivative works and thus subject to MPL/GPL/LGPL). I guess the only
issue now is that you and me are not lawyers and we both could still
be wrong. :-)

Thanks again.
