[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] What is the license of the images on the OSM website? (Issue #5966)

GPL is not the best-suited license for images or other kinds of artwork. It was designed for software. A similar situation is that CC-BY is inappropriate for data, like when OSM switched to ODbL.

In many open-source projects, code is licensed under one license, documentation under another, and artwork under another.

Can the license for these files be changed to something more suitable for artwork and derivatives?
