Here's part of the license agreement of the Silicon Garden, a fractal plant generating system for 3D Studio: "The animations and images you make with these routines may be reproduced in any form you wish. However, the plant models and structures you've created with Silicon Garden's L-system algorithms in 3D format (i.e., 3DS, PRJ, DXF or any other face/vertex list) are copyrighted objects due to their algorithmic structure. You may not re-sell these models in any format for use with any 3D modeling or rendering system." To top it off, many of these supposedly copyrighted L-system algorithms were taken from someone else's published, copyright book on L-systems. 🙂
