Evidence? :-) Is there any formal document of Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees which says, that logo candidates are a special case for copyright issues or it is just your assumption?
Why would it be a board document? Surely it would just have been said on the pages about the contest.
Yes.. I could buy the idea. Unfortunatelly it had not been said on the contest page :-) The contest page does not say anything about legal copyright issues. See:
I can't remember if that rule got adopted after the "International logo contest", or before it. I do remember the rule, because I thought it was incredibly hypocritical.
As you point out, it doesn't say anything about it on the contest page. Contrast this with http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiktionary/logo/archive-vote-1 which says "All logo submissions must *not* be licensed under GFDL but the copyright must be assigned to the Wikimedia Foundation".
Do we agree with the idea, that at that time everything uploaded was under GNU FDL or not?
Definitely not. You were supposed to release uploads under the GFDL, *if you were the copyright owner*, but not everything that was uploaded was under GFDL.
