Hi,

And the data files; fonts, graphics, sounds etc.

Even the Linux desktop Vera font doesn't have (L)GPL licence, nor
do the new SIL fonts because (L)GPL doesn't apply that well to
non-source code stuff:

Btw. For fun, you might try discussing with RMS about GPL licence and
3D modeled images like I did.  POV 3D model descriptions are program
code as POV implements a programming language with variables, functions,
loop constructs etc. (the fun part is that POV itself is not GPL
compatible).  Many people don't seem to understand what the GPL licence
for my Solarwolf gfx files means (if you use the gfx, you need to provide
the 3D model sources too):
