that one may not upload a small, low resolution line drawing of the USS Enterprise? without violating copyright?
Leaving aside the baseless allegation of trolling, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Anti-Star_Trek_Cabal_logo.png is possibly going to be deleted for that reason.

And no, it doesn't matter whether Mickey Mouse is printed on a T-shirt, which you bought with your own money and which is worn by yourself while you're walking in a public place, loudly reciting the GFDL. That doesn't at all give you the right to take a picture of the T-shirt, cut out Mickey Mouse and upload it as "free" material. Nothing you'll ever do, whether you draw Pikachu with your own crayons or sculpt a giant Sailor Moon figurine, will ever lead to the point where you magically turn copyrighted material into "free" material.
