Hi James,

Everything that is not explicitly called out in the top level NOTICE and 
LICENSE files are licensed under the Apache 2.0 license.

Adding a file to this directory might mislead people into thinking that they 
need to perform more due diligence with other files in other directories.

My advice is to *not* add anything. Let the images be licensed per the terms 
the top level LICENSE file.

Craig
