Could you point me to some good references which discusses the issues
FOSS purists find with Creative Commons, and which you find convincing
enough?

BTW, loads of high quality CC licenced photos  available on Flickr can
be used with just an Attribution. AFAIK, search engines like Yahoo ,
Google and a few others provide options to look just for creative
commons content. (
Take a look at http://search.creativecommons.org/)

As far as non-"freeware" royalty free content is concerned it would
probably be better to stick to Creative Commons related resources, as
alternative FOSS licences are both not as popular and neither as
unambiguous. Just my point of view.
