[GRASS5] GNU Free Documentation License and maps

Hello,

It seems that the GNU FDL (Free Documentation License, see
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/licenses.html#FDL) is applicable to maps as
well as manuals.  Has there been any discussion of GRASS inserting an
FDL notice in the maps it creates?

With SVG maps (which I've been creating for testing code), map users
have the opportunity to edit/copy map data with a text editor.  Some
commercial map vendors avoid SVG because of this.  Could it be an
advantage of GRASS?

Greg
