My camera saves a JPEG of a lightning bolt. I distribute that in the
belief that it's the only version of the picture in existence, and
nobody argues over whether it's source code. Later on, I find that I'd
accidently left my camera in the mode where it saves raw files as well.
I add that to the next upload of the package containing the picture.

Are older versions of the package now non-free?
