A popular license for artwork is the creative commons license [1]. You 
can also try releasing themes under other licenses like the GPL[2], 
however it may be a little more unclear how to apply this to themes and 
artwork.

While we're on the subject of licensing, does anyone know the official 
stance on the license of GNOME themes? I've recently had a couple of 
emails regarding the acceptable use of artwork from art.gnome.org. With 
Jakub's recent blog [3] about the use of GNOME artwork, perhaps someone 
could clarify what is and what isn't acceptable?
