I think I agree... Interesting. CC-BY is an okay license (as far as the license goes), but if the project insists on a particular place, and every visible page, then we'd better not.
Hmm, I don't have time atm, but I will check if CC-BY is understood somewhere else to require visible display on every page using the graphic. I don't think I saw this case before. The link in credits, as we have for others third-party design, is commonly accepted as attribution. (I see the humanly-readable "deed" for CC-BY states "in the manner specified by the author" though, indeed.)

Why don't we use a font instead of png?

Thumbs-up, heart, +1, "like" (simple text), star, all have precedents in other software for the "Good post" button.
I find the heart thingie kinda kindergardenish tbh. If we go incorporate changes that come closer to the social networking habits of people nowadays (and we do, where appropriate), it doesn't follow, to me, that we have to do it as if it was for popularity only. Because it's not: offering people an easy way to express their 'ok' on the content of a post is a simple feature, should be easy to use, and just say your 'ok' instantly and move on; without being too eye-catching, without changing position btw, without looking it up.
That is, the buttony from the droppy should be in the same place with the "how many" display. Change instantly count display. Done.
Visible all the way, but not more visible than the content, to put it this way. G+ iirc does things this way: it displays +1 and the count, a differently-colored +1 if you have +1ed it, and at hover, it shows you '-1' if you have +1ed it. We might want something more fancy than that, perhaps, but lets remember that it needs to not distract from the post.

Why not what Spuds did for the like and drop the texts?

Which texts do you mean?
ETA: on a side note, around this topic. I played around removing the " likes" string ($txt['likes']) from the display, leaving only the star image. It's an even simpler look and you still get what's all about. You can hover for a short explanation, otherwise icon alone (with a number).

"Quote", "Quick edit", "Remove", etc.
Just like the "like" that doesn't have a text, but only the star.

Doing that. Basically asap, sorry for the unintended delay these days.
