Hi Wirawan, Figshare is where I go sometimes for cc licensed diagrams and images, although it can be difficult to search and filter for things like charts and graphs. You can filter for figures, like in this example search for "workflow python" <https://figshare.com/search?q=workflow%20python&contentTypes=item&itemTypes=1> .
I don't know about the copyright question, but I am very glad that you're giving attention to that and I think your idea for collecting licenses is a good one.
