Based on this response, I'd be inclined to encourage you to avoid
using the SRTM data due to the licence.
<br>
<br>
Re datasets on OSGeo-Live, look at:

<br>
<br>
In particular, would the North Carolina dataset suffice?

And as such I'm wary of introducing such a dependency.

Could you please explain:

1. What is SRTM?

SRTM is the satellite data that all terrain data is taken from.
If you use Terrain data, you are using SRTM data, or derived,
which obviously has the same license. DTED is a common format
derived from SRTM data.
<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">2. Is it required for the demo?
<br>

It certainly makes it look nicer - shading of hills etc for
terrain, but technically we could work a way around it.
<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">3. Is there a work around for not using
it?
<br>

Technically, given enough time, fake random terrain data could
be generated.
<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">4. Does it follow a current known
licence (such as Creative Commons or GPL)? If so, what is it?
<br>
</blockquote>
No, like most geo spacial data, the governments that release it
tend to have their own license.
<br>
<br>
By comparison, what other data is provided as examples on the
DVD?
