I hardly think it matters for small examples - are there any large examples
which are likely to be extended / used to some degree and cause the author
to worry about using the original example code ?

I can't see a reason to GPL them either, but I also can't see a pressing
need to remove the license. Correct me. If there's a good reason to remove
the license, I'm sure the author(s) will oblidge.

Cheers,
