[Foundation-l] Swedish Wikipedians removes Wikimedia logos

[Dan Rosenthal]

How is it logical for the Wikimedia Foundation, by way of volunteers supporting the Wikimedia Foundation, be disallowed from having their own logo on their own website?

In what universe is this logical?

The problem with use of copyrighted/trademarked logos is the concern that the owner of that logo will disallow the use.  We do not have this problem.

The trademark policy also makes it perfectly clear that downstream uses under the guise of nominative fair use are permissible, so that's not a concern either.

So....this is a "solution" in search of a problem.
