To add to my last email, I just googled for compatibility between CC and LGPL - most of the resources I found were actually regarding GPL, not LGPL, but apparently they are incompatible - I think mostly because CC requires attribution http://programmers.stackexchange.com/questions/272335/how-and-when-had-the-cc-by-license-become-gnu-gpl-compatible
Anyway, I think if we use a CC image, we must specify that the image is not LGPL and is in fact CC.
