That is _absolutely_ fine (meant in a completely positive way).

We have support for catalogs and external hangars for precisely this reason.

We obviously want to encourage GPL aircraft, but not every aircraft developer
wishes, or is able to, release their work under the GPL.  FlightGear both
respects and supports that option.
