Comment (by tonestone57):

 Pulse and Mandelbrot are from Be Inc (not Haiku Inc) - open source
 license.  Change r37742 should be fixed.  Below links show Be Inc.
 copyright & license.

 os.org/browser/haiku/trunk/src/apps/pulse/PulseWindow.cpp][[BR]]

 os.org/browser/haiku/trunk/src/apps/mandelbrot/Mandelbrot.cpp]

 Not sure who created Playground but the other apps were done by Axel, Alex
 & Ralf.  They appear to be under MIT license so should be allowed in
 distros too.  Only Haiku3D should be excluded because currently uses Haiku
 logo.  Replacing with non-Haiku logo in Haiku3D would allow this
 application in distros too I would think.

 Because of MIT license (for these applications), distro makers can always
 compile and include these applications in their Haiku distro.  So, why
 exclude them from distro release? ie: developers above coded the
 applications but MIT license allows anyone to take and use them how and
 where they want to.
