They're *all* public domain, even the logo. There's a legal
restriction that you can't do stuff like misrepresent NASA and use the
logo for *other* things, but IMHO anybody that does that is up to no
good and deserves all they get. The wikimedia tag used is quite
specific anyway and we don't need to remove anything.
I (tentatively) agree with Ian here. The restrictions on reuse do not
seem to be anything like a no-derivs license.
Free re-use is something that we insist upon only with respect to
copyright (and perhaps if some other non-copyright restrictions were
onerous enough, we would refuse that as well). Saying that you can't
use an image to commit fraud, etc., is not a restriction on reuse that
bothers us. Nor should it.
