The license that will be used is in the copyright section of the 
document: 
https://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/2015/copyright-software-and-document. 
I don't think it's quite the same as the MIT open license, the W3C one 
allows re-use but requires attribution.

Yes, or we can create a specific sub-section in the acknowledgements for 
image contributors.

Those are ok for us to receive the images in (EPS would also be fine). 
We probably do *not* want JPG because of its lossy compression, unless 
the image is a photo. When we publish them we should only use SVG or PNG 
(or JPG for photos), so we would convert other formats to those.
