[theme-reviewers] Background Image Resource

[Chip Bennett]

Is the following part of the license for *every* image there?

*You may not use the Image*

   - For pornographic, unlawful or other immoral purposes, for spreading
   hate or discrimination, or to defame or victimise other people, sociteties,
   cultures.
   - To endorse products and services if it depicts a person.
   - In a way that can give a bad name to SXC or the person(s) depicted on
   the Image.
   - As part of a trademark, service mark or logo.
   - SELLING AND REDISTRIBUTION OF THE IMAGE (INDIVIDUALLY OR ALONG WITH
   OTHER IMAGES) IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN! DO NOT SHARE THE IMAGE WITH OTHERS!


If so, I don't think that's GPL-compatible.
