That example was carefully selected. You don't *get* another chance to
take a picture of a lightning bolt. They only last a second or two,
and every one is unique. That photo is the only one that will ever
exist. (jpeg-compressed is no good when a non-lossy format is
available, though).



My camera saves a JPEG of a lightning bolt. I distribute that in the belief that it's the only version of the picture in existence, and nobody argues over whether it's source code. Later on, I find that I'd accidently left my camera in the mode where it saves raw files as well. I add that to the next upload of the package containing the picture.

Are older versions of the package now non-free?


<joke>
it depends. Dis you save the original lightning bolt in your fridge as well?
