To the extent that these are not really code files (similarly to he test/indent/* files, which do contain code snippets but are not meant to be runnable), I don't think it has to be exactly GPLv3+, but of course it needs to have a license that lets us modify and distribute them. And it probably needs the usual copyright assignment (unless, as usual, it's small enough). But you'd better ask Richard for a final decision on this. Stefan
