That's stupid!!!!  When these logos were submitted these rules to 
appease small bureaucratic minds did not exist.  Anyone making a 
submission simply agreed that his submissions were under GFDL.

Another way to look at it: If someone uploads something today in full 
compliance with today's rules the likelihood remains that new rules will 
develop in the next five years, and the problems will start all over 
again then in circumstances where the only person capable of compliance 
is no longer available. This kind of situation puts all history at risk. 
Putting history at risk threatens reliability when rules only permit us 
to express half-truths.
