That's stupid!!!! When these logos were submitted
these rules to
appease small bureaucratic minds did not exist. Anyone making a
submission simply agreed that his submissions were under GFDL.
This is explicit since 2005:

And, Meta is not Commons.

Another way to look at it: If someone uploads
something today in full
compliance with today's rules the likelihood remains that new rules will
develop in the next five years, and the problems will start all over
again then in circumstances where the only person capable of compliance
is no longer available. This kind of situation puts all history at risk.
Putting history at risk threatens reliability when rules only permit us
to express half-truths.
