I've sent the email with a licensing request to every resource I am using the images from (some of them are mine so I'll offer a license). If all else fails, I'll just draw the rest of the images myself. It's just I am more of a programmer than a graphical artist. But drawing things would be a nice change from programming too. Thanks for your comments!

To be more exact, we're talking about images here, so content not code,
thus you only need a license which allows free (gratis and unlimited)
redistribution of the images with your game. This still means that the
non-commercial clause is unacceptable though. Also where did you get the
sound FX? those need to be properly licensed too.
