I have a bit of a tricky copyright question. Recently I decided that I would like to create a derivation of the Wikipedia logo for personal use soley on the Wikipedia site, after seeing that it was copyrighted to the Wikipedia foundation I emailed Jimbo asking for formal permission to use the image as a part of the future work. I have not recieved any reply and so I decided to continue assuming that since there are already other works based off the Wikipedia logo on the site it would be ok and I could deal with tagging later.. I have since uploaded the work and amd wondering whether it is a copyright violation or not and if not what it should be tagged since it doesn't seem to fall under any of the licensing schemes. BTW, the image can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Darkwiki.jpg.
I think that "for personal use soley (sic!=solely?) on the Wikipedia site" is key here. As long as the use remains on the Wikipedia site it can't possibly be a copyvio.
