The logo *itself* in isolation might be, but the images with it aren't; they're public domain you can modify them as much as you want.
False there are many modifications you cannot make to those images. Editing in some images of the KKK for example would cause problems.
Yeah, well, that would be fraud wouldn't it?
Not always
And how is that license related? You could do that with any image, irrespective of license and expect much the same consequences.
With any image? How would it get you into trouble with http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Grays_Thurrockmap_1946.jpg ?
The images with the tags removed are free. With then not removed they are not.
Even free isn't free in most cases. You can't stick GPL in GFDL or vice versa *unless* it's dual licensed. In fact, this material is public domain- you can do more things with it than GFDLd work. It's more free than 'free'.
Breaking the GFDL is civil law. Using the NASA logo in certain ways is criminal law.
The terms on the NASA logo limit what type of derivatives can be made. This means non free.
