I agree, but I also think there's a difference between official documentation and 3rd-party resources. The linking is an issue, but even if such examples can't officially be endorsed by the project, they can still be created and be useful.

My suspicion is that the fears about linking stem from an overly paranoid interpretation of FSF guidelines -- after all, the FSF have given awards to Wikipedia, which includes a copious amount of non-free media used under "fair use" provisions.

That's what I have come to think too in the meantime. So i think I'll include
the example in our collection of tutorials, because I can't see me rewriting the
tutorial with another example (it would surely be very easy to find an
equivalent example in the music of Alban Berg, who ran out of copyright several
years ago)

Hmm, be careful with Berg. The later works (published post-1923) are probably still in copyright in the US. Should be fine with something like the String Quartet, or the Four Pieces for clarinet and piano.

Maybe you're right. Today I realized that I really only have to replace the
image, without updating a single word ...
It's just a matter of deciding to take the time to acquire the image, either by
extracting it from the IMSLP score or by getting my own score home and make a
scan ...

It's on IMSLP?  I looked, but couldn't find it ...
