What I am seeing in this discussion is that want to keep exclusive
rights to the original image but that all the code is BSD licensed.

My basic take on this is simple:

It is going to be too much of a pain in the butt. If that is the
route they are going to be take then I will have my artist create a new
elephant from scratch that we will be BSD licensed and copyright to the
project.

We don't want to have to deal with this later.
