The FSF tend to be ideologically driven but at least predictably so.
CC tend to be more pragmatic which makes them less predicable. We have
no reason to think that CC would opt for strong copyleft for images
unless they have made a clear direct commitment to do so. They have
not.

The FSF on the other hand is more predicable if more troublesome in some areas.
