As this use "with permission" is legal, it is not in mainspace, and it promotes the development of Wikipedia I have started a RfC here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Non-free_content#Logos_of_organ... that we allow it. Thoughts?
hi,
i talked to james about the reasoning. it seems unequal that wikimedia's logo is restricted and allowed, the partners logo not. imo we should put the wikimedia logo's under a standard license, because the wikimedia foundation is giving a bad example without gaining a lot.

Hi Rupert,
Some Wikimedia logos are not currently under a free license for historic reasons. But we hope to make them all freely licensed eventually and have already done so for newer logos (e.g. the new Wikivoyage logo).
Thanks, Yana
Hi all,
We've started changing the copyright status for the Wikibooks logo on Commons to CC BY-SA 3.0:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikibooks-logo-en-noslogan.svg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikibooks-logo.svg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikibooks-logo-en.svg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikibooks-logo-en-unpathed.svg
I would really appreciate your help if you would like to replace the copyright template with the CC BY-SA 3.0 template on the different language versions of the Wikibooks logo.
But please don't change the copyright status on any of the other Wikimedia logos for now. We're still working on those.
Thanks, Yana
Hi Yana,
That's a good change - thanks for making it. :-) Out of curiosity, is there a reason why you're using v3 rather than v4 of the license?
Thanks, Mike

Hi Mike,
Some of the Wikimedia logos are already licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0 and we want them to be consistently licensed, to the extent that we can.
Thanks, Yana

We are puting information about colaboration on our chapter's wiki - with uploading logos locally with agreement of logo owners. Many Wikipedias - including Polish one does not accept non-free media at all.
