Whch is, of course, true for ALL additions to the official version 
since, as said earlier, I do vet them.

With one exception, there is, if course, no example of a file not 
distibuted as source.

And that file is, ... wait for it.... one of the system sprites.

Ok, so maybe there was "one" project where the author said that he could 
do something (compared to all those that have really seen the light) - 
but he didn't. Probably because he pretended the licence wouldn't let him?

Talk is cheap, indeed.
