Is there any thought of what kinds of licenses will exist on the example scene
files distributed with povray if it ever goes GPL?

I can imagine a few problematic scenarios in either direction:

1) All the basic templates are GPL'ed.  Does this mean that every scene file
that ever uses them has to be GPL'ed.

2) It ships with some files that are the copyrighted property of the artist.
Then someone wants to put povray on a live linux CD and some pointy-headed
person claims it's illegal because of the proprietary code in the files.


Are there benefits in making example scene files which are free, free as in
not-even-with-RMS's restrictions?
