the foundation wishes to be able to raise money by lisenceing the use
of the logo to third parties
For the latter point, there is a joy of creativity
and
project-identification when a WikiProject develops its own visual
identity, whether that is in the form of style guidelines, unified
template or infobox format, or icons and logos. And there is a wider
remix culture around a project that is encouraged by incorporating
community icons into images and other media in innovative ways.
Community icons yes. The logo no unless you ask permission.
