We want to avoid problems, so we should insist on explicit permission. We
ask others to respect our copyrights and licenses, so we shouldn't presume
anything on works from 3rd parties. What if the person you got it from had
just yanked it from somewhere without permission to do so?

What is the license for the tux image?

"Permission to use and/or modify this image is granted provided you
acknowledge me lewing@isc.tamu.edu and The GIMP if someone asks."

We need to remember that for our logo :).
