Quoting LinuxLala <linuxlala AT gmail.com>:

If you bind the screensaver and the images together as one zip (equivalent
compressed file) file, then you are practically forcing your screensaver on
people who only want the CC images, and this is a probable violation. So, if
the screensaver and the images are seperately available, then you'd be safe.

The BY license does not require that you make source available or that the
original work be recoverable from derivative work or systems. It is the Free
Culture equivalent of the original BSD license: you can use the work pretty
much as you like so long as you give the licensor credit. So even making the
work unrecoverable from a binary blob is not a violation of the license as long
as that blob gives credit.

IANAL either though.
