I have a bit of a tricky copyright question.
Recently I decided that
I would like to create a derivation of the Wikipedia logo for
personal use soley on the Wikipedia site, after seeing that it was
copyrighted to the Wikipedia foundation I emailed Jimbo asking for
formal permission to use the image as a part of the future work. I
have not recieved any reply and so I decided to continue assuming
that since there are already other works based off the Wikipedia logo
on the site it would be ok and I could deal with tagging later.. I
have since uploaded the work and amd wondering whether it is a
copyright violation or not and if not what it should be tagged since
it doesn't seem to fall under any of the licensing schemes. BTW, the
image can be found at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Darkwiki.jpg.
I think that "for personal use soley (sic!=solely?) on the Wikipedia
site" is key here. As long as the use remains on the Wikipedia site
it can't possibly be a copyvio.

I guess it wouldn't be a great idea for Wikipedia Foundation to sue
themselves for hosting copyrighted material.
