If there are more questions regarding the GPL software and the legal limitations on its redistribution, modifications, and usage we recommend reading GPL FAQ. In particular, regarding the output of the program we do not and cannot impose any limitations on the use of the output generated by OSRA which the input data did not previously have:

"...copyright law does not give you any say in the use of the output people make from their data using your program. If the user uses your program to enter or convert his own data, the copyright on the output belongs to him, not you. More generally, when a program translates its input into some other form, the copyright status of the output inherits that of the input it was generated from."
