Just a suggestion: maybe it could be worded something like, "These images
are hereby licensed for use in Stellarium (<street address here>), and its
derivative works under copyright law, under the terms of the GNU GPL
version 2. In all other cases, they are licensed under the Creative Commons
BY-SA 3.0 license. These images, in whole or in part, shall not constitute
a derivative work of Stellarium in themselves."
The "derivative works under copyright law" is from Section 0 of the GPv2; I
figured matching the wording would do nicely. If you'd rather provide the
images under a non-GPL, but still GPL-compatible license, maybe CC0 would
work.
Those are some great images, by the way. Oh, and I am *not* a lawyer, this
does not constitute legal advice, etc.
Best,
Mike
