In the words of the GPL (v2) "the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program)". It is a little grey I'll give you, but no, it would be common understanding that a screenshot would not fall under that definition, ergo, it's not GPL. Same as a spreadsheet made in a GPL spreadsheet program wouldn't be GPL. This is particularly the case for FlightGear as the screenshot is produced by FlightGear itself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
