Looks like WMF doesn't claim it as a trademark either, so I'm actually
just wrong about that :-)

The MediaWiki logo is GFDL+CC-by-sa (originally just GFDL) with no
trademark claim listed on the page, as other Wikimedia logos have:

Tournesol.png is GFDL, may be CC-by-sa as well (unless it's definitely
past eligibility):

> PS. Since when did the flower have the name "Bob"?


Since this thread, as far as I can recall ;-) Presumably in reference
to angryflower.com.
