Do we know if the BBC asked for permission to use another organisation's logo in this way?
I don't see why they would need to. There is certainly no trademark violation, since the way it was used couldn't confuse anyone into thinking the BBC was associated with Wikipedia, and think the fair use exemption to copyright would apply (they are essentially providing commentary on the logo).
This is not the United States of America. It is *fair dealing*, not fair use.
But, yes. Essentially Thomas is correct.
