Simon,

Thank you for the hard work you have put into summarizing the copyright
issues related to OSGeo content. I have a personal goal of preparing
some articles and tutorials related to FOSS geospatial software. I
didn't give enough consideration to the licensing of the (1) tutorial
text, (2) screenshots of software, and (3) geospatial data used in the
tutorial. In some other cases we might need to consider licensing of
another tutorial component, the source code presented and discussed in
an article.

I hope you get some constructive feedback on your summary. I believe it
raised some important issues.

Regarding images used in the tutorial, specially where it was asked to
license the pictures/images that are a product of spatial analysis or some
procedure:

Couldn't we make a few stub images representing basic operations and give
them away for free? Without actual data? I know it doesn't cover all cases,
but it's a start. Something like the one attached?
