Well. I may be wrong about this, but I thought that an image generated from 
a 3D model was a derivation of the artistic work contained within the 3D 
model. So my thinking was that if we don't explicitly grant permission to 
use and modify the images that people wouldn't be licensed to do so.

I agree that the intention is not to limit the use of images and that's what 
I was trying to say.
My concern was that if we simply don't mention them in our licensing 
statement that their use may be implicitly limited.
Does anyone have a definitive answer on this question?
