[Bf-committers] copyright and suzanne

[Tom Musgrove]

What is the copyright status of Suzanne?  It would appear to be under the 
GPL, unless we have given an explicit exception.

If it is under the GPL, then at this time, most renderings and blends, etc. 
that include suzanne would technically be derived works, and thus 
technically would be GPL violations if they were not also distributed under 
the GPL.

It seems unlikely that that is our intent, thus I suggest we provide a 
specific exception in the license for renderings, etc. that include suzanne. 
  I realize this seems a rather minor point, but I think it is necessary for 
license clarity.
