Silly question for you all:

Is http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_cake.jpg actually 
copyrighted to the WMF as a WMF logo? The cake was made for Wikimedia 
UK, so it's technically a derivative work, perhaps...

Any ideas what the copyright status of this should be? Does the author 
(Jezhotwells) have the ability to release it under a free licence, if 
s/he wishes?
