I do not care the image is "embedded" in the logo, but the image itself has an independant life and no one has the right to strip me of my author rights on it.
You did that when you released it into the public domain. You have no control over derivatives. In this case the derivative is also in the public domain copyright wise.
I understand that. If I remember well, I never put the original image on wiki. So, by default, it is under traditional cp.
There are also two derivative.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Tournesol%28L%29.jpg is under GFDL. Made on a rainy day.
And this one is a collaborative creation of antfish. http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Bouquet_fleurs.png It is under a dual license, gfdl and a cc.
Finally, the cropped image is PD. May it have a long and fruitful life embedded in the mediawiki logo (unless it is replaced one day)
And as a wikithank across all of our projects. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Tournesol.png (for wikithanks on enwiki). Gfdl
Eh, last derivative, 6th of nov 2006: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Greetings_Barnstar.png Gfdl
Licensing mess...
