Think about re-use. I hope the film is GPL'd. Think about all these FOSS-like
games that are using the Quake engine. POV-Ray and datasets come to mind, as
well. Imagine forks of a film.

Person #1: "Which film have you just watched?"

Person #2: "Ahh.. it's some derivative of 'Elephants Dream'. It's called
'Elephants Delight'".

Best wishes,

Roy
