In genral: no. The details of that depend a bit on your software
and what you are about to do with it. If 
- you charge any amount of money or
- the program will be on every download page in the internet
then I would not do it. On the other hand, if
- the stuff is free and
- will only live a small life amoung your friends,
go ahead.

There is very little danger of real trouble but you never know. I got
a couple of complaints about pictures in my collection. In one
case there was a ancient story connected to the picture and the
artist that I didn't know about and the artist didn't care about.

But mostly peole don't mind when their pictures are presented
nicely in a non-commercial context. 
 
BTW what was that about "your pictures"?
