so which license can we use to protect her name?
i think i described this situation detailed enough to receive a
detailed answer.
As Gerv noted, the MPL/GPL/LGPL have clauses pertaining to preservation
of copyright and license notices. In this case the artwork itself
doesn't have a copyright notice embedded within it (as a source file
would), so you should put the copyright notice in the "About" window,
e.g., "The Koala logo and aasociated image files are copyright 2009 by
Lidiya Ivanova", along with whatever other license-related notices you
have regarding the MPL/GPL/LGPL license on the extension as a whole. You
could then rely on the relevant clauses in the MPL, GPL, and LGPL that
restrict downstream licensees from removing or altering license and
copyright notices.
Also, she could consider making a formal copyright registration for the
Koala logo images. In the US you can do this through the US Copyright
Office for $35:
http://www.copyright.gov/register/
This would strengthen her copyright claim, e.g. by making it easier to
pursue damages against people who redistribute the images without her
copyright notice.
