That's not needed.  Just make sure the images are clearly licensed under the 
GPL, or something compatible with the GPL.

Hi,

I have approved your project.  You will receive an automated e-mail
containing detailed information about the approval.

One small note, in files "./src/logic.c" and "./src/main.c", it would be a 
good idea to fix the header.  Currently, they read, "See the GNU Library 
General Public License for more details", when in fact the code is licensed 
under the GPL.

For your reference, here's the preferred header:

    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>

    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify

    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
