It's unclear who's right.  I've heard arguments from other lawyers that 
the GPL simply cannot apply to images as the GPL itself explicitly 
refers to "source code" and its arguable whether an image is (I don't 
personally think images are source code, but a lawyer I am not).  A 
license that better serves images such as a CC license might work best.
