Are licenses applied to other works? (Score 1)

If you bought something closed source, you'd have a license to go through, it just wouldn't be the GPL. If you read a book, there is no license: there's implied things you can and can't do with it, but no license printed in the beginning of the book. The same thing goes for art, music, and most other forms of copyrighted material. I don't know if it's possible to put a license on these things or not; I haven't seen it done. Before looking for a license to use on it, you might want to make sure that it's possible to apply a license to it.
