I'd personally suggest a MIT style license like the following:

Copyright (c) <year> <copyright holders>

including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge,

[Astute readers will note a s/software/work/; and s/be included
in/accompany/; from the default license to deal with the fact that
this is an image, and the work will typically be so small that it
can't include the copyright directly. Someone may be able to come up
with better verbiage to avoid this bug...]

As far as I know, the above license is compatible with just about
everything, is trivially DFSG free, and should allow us to use the
image easily.
