This is exactly the problem: If I *consider* something to be free and redistribute it I might be totally wrong and get a lot of trouble. I can *only* rely on a written permission. So if you want your work to be free you have to state it. If you want it to be free "in any way that complies with the intentions of this OpenSource project" you have to include that limitation in your license... I know that everybody has the best intentions and all of us have a feeling about what's allowed and what not. But without an explicit statement someone is getting into trouble sooner or later. The solution is quite simple: just put an statement like the GNU Free Documentation License on every page that publishes pictures (screenshots and photos - on FGFS.org and on private pages). Redistributing those pictures is quite simple then. The few pictures left (like in mails) can be easily asked for. NOTE: This doesn't protect you from the "in any way that complies with the intentions of this OpenSource project"... But this is an very subjective statement where you can easily start to argue if the intentions are met or not.
