In that case, ftp-masters should be made aware of the issue, and, if it
can't be resolved short of it, SPI should seek legal advice. (Of
course, we run the risk of being accused of sour grapes....)
But the issue of whether or not they're distributable at all is
absolutely orthogonal to the GR. They have no bearing on each other
whatsoever.
