So almost surely they aren't GFDL, if they were, so would http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Ncwikicol.png :P Either the authors have given their rights to the Foundation, or -not being elected- the rights reverted to the author again. We surely have the right to keep them on a meta: gallery, as there the authors uploaded them, but reusing is more complicated. We probably need to ask each author individually. The licenses of logo rejected submissions is quite obscure. As they can be a future logo, they can't get a free license. But if they're not elected, Foundation doesn't get it neither. We could encourage submissions like "© WMF if accepted, GFDL if rejected", "Gets Cc-by status if no changes in a month..." but then we lose the ability of logo reusing on future contests.
