I didn't specify what version of GPL though. But, just because Sonata is GPL does that mean the images couldn't be copyrighted?
Well the issue is GPLv3 is not compatible with GPLv1/2 directly.

Usually the images fall under the same license and the code.

Somewhat. The easy way to look at is:
BSD/MIT licenses say Do anything you want with my work so long as you credit me (no restrictions on your license, doesn't even have to be open source)

GPL/Apache say Do what you want to as long as you release all the derivative works under the same license.

You should prob read this whole page, especially the requirement to be able to display the license to the user.
