That example was carefully selected. You don't *get* another chance to

exist. (jpeg-compressed is no good when a non-lossy format is
available, though).

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?
<joke>
it depends. Dis you save the original lightning bolt in your fridge as well?
