Having a separate gnome-themes-creativecommons etc might be even simpler (I suspect the FSF would like 'gnome-themes-nonfree' for the name ;) ) It is also of course possible for a creative commons artwork to be placed by its author under both the GPL (or LGPL) and a creative commons license if the GPL is unsuitable/too restrictive for the goals of the artists. The creative commons one seems less problematic anyway (at least for sharealike without other restrictions) as it appears the theme can still be used by all software.
