Hi,
I am very surprised to discover that three of the patterns Inkscape has included in the Fill and Stroke dialog are not public domain. The only way a user can see this is to look directly at the SVG content, either through a text editor or the XML Editor dialog. I think that this is going to create large scale violations of the licenses as the average user will have no idea that they are using licensed images.
Here are the effected patterns:
