Well, not really. The GPL pretty clearly talks about software and code
in the license. There are other licenses that are more designed for text
or artwork.

However, sort of standard practice is to ship a bunch of images with
programs and not put a separate license on the images. So I guess on
some level you can just say the images are part of the software.

There's a lot of prior discussion of this, if you google you could
probably find a list of licenses people have come up with and discussion
of same.
