Probably.  I think not caring is the best bet, though.  It's up to
reusers to ensure that they comply with copyright law.  Maybe they'll
be using the logos for fair use -- I don't see why we should worry
about that any more than we worry about InstantCommons users reusing
CC-BY-SA images without linking to their licenses.
