Hi Oliver,

As you know (but I should have announced it on the list, so now is a 
good opportunity) I have stopped being a member of the "OF admin team" 
for some time now. I don't even have admin rights anymore.

Moreover, concerning the particular issue at hand, I admit that I don't 
fully understand it. Others on this list will probably be more qualified 
to help you guys settle this.

So, all in all, I don't feel more legitimate than any other OF dev to 
make a decision regarding this issue.

IANAL: If you, as the main developer of the package, consider this 
"itl.mat" file as the preferred form for making (future) modifications 
to it, then I think that you are allowed to consider it as "source", 
even if it was (originally) produced form some other data and/or code.  
In this case, I think (more or less as Mike said) that you should at 
least describe (roughly) how and (precisely) from which sources this 
file was produced, especially if the file is considered a derivative 
work of some GPL'd project.

HTH,

Julien.
