Is anyone really even clear how XPMs could be construed as being
"source" or "binary"? XPMs in their native format *are* source (or it
looks suspiciously similar to C to me). But one never "compiles"
XPMs... There's just the image XPMs, in whatever form you want to
consider them to be in, "source" or "binary". Haven't looked too
carefully at GPL/LGPL lately but I'm pretty sure it distinguishes
between binaries and sources, and I have no idea which you'd consider
XPMs to be.
