An editor on META is having the crazy idea of tagging all historical logo propositions made during the Wikipedia logo contest back in 2003 with a template
"This image has no license information attached to it. This means that it has an unknown copyright status. Unless the copyright status is provided and a license is given, the image will be deleted one week after this template was added."
Example:http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:EloquenceSunflowerBlue-Small.png
Please help save Wikipedia history and weight in to avoid all those images being deleted. We are reaching the limits of non sense.

I know the actual logos are trademarked, but the proposals aren't. If these are creations by Wikimedians, then hopefully they are under a free license. They should be uploaded to Commons and organized, if so!
