May I ask which license is recommended by FSF for artwork? Or which
licenses for artwork are compatible with the GPL?
We have heard from a long time from CreativeCommons supporters that GPL
is not a good license for artwork, being by design a license for code
not for art (and this sound reasonable, we can't really talk about the
source code of a PNG or OGG).
