The obvious solution is that WMF should free license its
logotypes. I'm sick and tired of having to deal with this
crazy policy as soon as our chapter wants to print t-shirts
or anything such. I made a design for a copyright-free
alternative logotype for Wikimedia Sverige,

and I think we could go on to design our own logotype
for the Swedish Wikipedia. Why not?

We're lucky Creative Commons doesn't claim copyright to
its logo. It's used in millions of places on WMF sites.
