Doesn't that violate the copyright of the logo?

When I first wrote this it said GFDL. Now it says "Original logo copyright Wikimedia Foundation. This picture is made of the hundreds of free licenses of the images used to make it. Screenshot under the GFDL (?)"
Which is a big contradiction. The logo is not under a free license, so a derivative of it can't be under the GFDL. And many of the images are under copyleft licenses, so derivatives can't be under a non-commercial license.
Yeah, yeah, it's such a small deal, who cares... Considering the nature of this project the answer should be "we do".
