It seems perfectly clear that any possible copyright has long since expired; the logo is in the public domain. However, it is still quite possibly a valid trademark. The question is thus whether this is trademark fair use, which is dicussed in some detail at Wikipedia:Logos. Briefly, for the purpose of commentary (which is most of Wikipedia), it's fine. 71.41.210.146 (talk) 14:00, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
