This was done by Baboon on some models in my hangar etc ... This are only phases of development. In no event shall the finished products. These images serve as models and will eventually disappear.
You are wrong.
You have published "your developement" work already under GNU GPL in the FGdata repository, on the FG Download page and your homepage. With using the mentioned images you have violated the rights of those who has created the images. And this is not compatible with GNU GPL!
The same applies for sounds- remove it!
"Ride of the Valkyrie" : 1854 -> 2011 then 157 years.... more 70 years. Public domain normally
Not quite right. The "sheet music" is already under the public domain, but not a specific recording by a orchestra.
When as example the Cincinnati Symphony and Pops Orchestras records "Ride of the Valkyrie" and publish them under "Cincinnati Symphony and Pops Orchestras Ride of the Valkyrie" you are not allowed to use it without their permission!
The same applies to Movie sounds!
Or did you mixed the "flapflap" and Engine and Wind sound over the "Ride of the Valkyrie"-Sound?
No you didn't- you just used a recording from the Apocalypse Now-Movie which can be found on Youtube again, which is copyrighted and protected by Zoetrope Studios!
Make sure you are using only GNU GPL compatible sounds.
I see no sign of permission on their website- so the image is copyrighted- it isn't compatible with GNU GPL and so you are not allowed to use those images!
For the Bell 222X you right
But unlike YouTube and other projects. FG is not for profit and me, I do not earn anything with my aircrafts. And of course you omit voluntarily Carreidas for which I have actually the authorization, the Stamp SV4 ditto etc. .... If in doubt obvious I'm the first to ask permission. But we must stop being paranoid. My planes are all originals, not copies from FS and / or X-Plane as can be seen somtimes in FG.
CBS Cooperation does care about the use of their work.
FGFS Project does make use of GNU GPL v2 which allows to sell this work. In this case they won't make any difference - you are not allowed to use protected sounds!
But you're right, sometimes there are licensing some images. But in this case should I remove them and prevent other developer to work on the plane ?
Yes!
Everyone here has access to Google, Yahoo etc and can look for reference images on their own!
I recall that GIT is a place of development, and not distribution of finished product . We must stop any mix.
GNU GPL Licence and other licences, especially image licence doesn't care about something being in developement.
With FGdata on gitorious.org it is downloadable and open to everyone on the net, it can be accessed by everyone. So you have already violated the licence as I said already above!
And not only that- from FGdata every 6 months the official hangar is made by just packaging and providing it as .zip!
When you are able to ask the copyright holders of the Carreidas, then you should be able to ask other copyright holders as well!
You show a serious lack of understanding the GNU GPL licence! Interesting, especially regarding your already deleted statements from yesterday!
Remove the copyrighted things!

Right, this is the problem here!
