Per:

Non-functional Data

Data that has an aesthetic purpose, rather than a functional one, may be
included in a free system distribution as long as its license gives you
permission to copy and redistribute, both for commercial and non-commercial
purposes. For example, there are some game engines that have been released
under the GNU GPL, and have accompanying game information—a world map, game
graphics, and so on—released under such a verbatim distribution license. This
kind of data can be part of a free system distribution.



I am going to include this unless someone 'splains me otherwise.
