Is it limited to color? 3 samples: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.selapa.net/create/">http://www.selapa.net/create/</a>
Do you think these are gradients, why?

It's neither a pattern nor a gradient, it's a composition of a gradient with a
pattern:

That's how I draw it (svg file added) but I actually consider the first
two as "simple" linear gradient where the first stop is a plain color
and the second one is a pattern. Is that a non-sense for a gradient?<br>
<br>
For the third one, I wasn't sure... the black circles radius is
proportional to the x position so I thought it could possibly be
considered as a "shape" gradient...<br>

That said gradients are not limited to colors, wikipedia gives a good
definition <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradient">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gradient</a> . You can imagine all sort
of gradients for "shapes" or "colors" or whatever.
