Specifically the software grant [1] starts with:

WHEREAS, Licensor owns or has sufficient rights to contribute the
software source code and other related intellectual property as
itemized on Exhibit A ("Software") under the terms of this agreement
to the Foundation for use within Foundation software development
projects ("Projects").

I really don't see any issue with the images as they clearly are
"other related intellectual property".
