I hope that they don't want to have a 'not-modifiable'  license (and if
they are going to have one, it is safer that they provide it themselves),
but if so, I'm suspected that we could host such files in sf.net (and
certainly it would be impossible to provide such models in distributions
like Fedora which doesn't permit non-free packages.).
