Guix,
Devin Ulibarri from the FSF rightfully pointed out that the licence of,
e.g., <https://guix.gnu.org/en/screenshots/virtual-machine/> is not
obvious. It should be made so on the Web page itself.
From memory I'd say these are ‘public domain’, and [0] concurs, but I
doubt [0] was explicitly intended to cover these images not contributed
by Luis Felipe.
My Web mail can't find it, but there's an ongoing thread about
relicencing the blog posts to CC-(BY?)-SA-whatever 4.0. If it applies
well to images (and I think it does), that or CC0 seem like the two
obvious choices.
Kind regards,
T G-R

…was probably a stupid suggestion, as some of these images embed at
least the CC-BY-SA 4.0 GNU Guix logo.
(One wonders: are screenshots of incompatibly-licenced software
artworks… illegal?)

Wikimedia people have thought about things like this:
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Screenshots>.
AFAICT they haven't looked into what happens if its a screenshot of
multiple sofware things with incompatible licenses (e.g. some GPL-2-
only and some GPL-3-only software) though ...
Greetings,
Maxime.
