With all due respect, Goran, you need to seek advice of counsel upon 
whom you can rely for the answers to these questions, in view of the 
details of your particularly plan or proposal.  The following is not 
intended as legal advice:

It will probably not surprise you to know that I wouldn't recommend 
doing either.  The risks are simply not worth it.  Suffice it to say, 
even if what you propose would not violate the intellectual property or 
contracts of others, the results would likely be marginalized as too 
risky to use or include with a public distribution.

RMS said, "no" regarding the co-distribution of changeset and naked 
original.  We never consulted FSF concerning ImageSements.

I urge you to stop.
