For independent artwork I would generally agree. But...

Since Gnucash is licensed under GPL you should make sure to choose a
license that is at least *compatible* with the GPL. Please note that the
Free Software Foundation considers neither of the Creative Commons
licenses to be compatible with GPL (see [3]). So distributing some
graphics under CC license together with Gnucash under GPL might impose
major legal headaches...

Please choose the GPL or let the user a choice between for instance GPL
and a proper CC license.

... just my 2¢.
