Right, but if we ask the Inscape guys to GPL their logo, or the
Blender foundation they could say "yes". Maybe a short license the
author agrees but something...

It's not possible to make that with "Public domain". This is what I mean.

I'm not.  It's no one of my icons either.

...be in charge...  Oh, My God! I will go to jail for drawing icons!!!

Trademark is trademark. I had made dozens of logos, I only summited
the ones I thought (wrongly) were not to conflict.
Blender is an open source project I feel very join too. I have taught
other people to use it at the University for free just because I love
this program. I just didn't felt the necessity to ask for permission
when I use "the Gimp" logo for a "Gimp course" poster.

One of the best things GPL did were "not have to ask for permission"
for using/modifying a program(bureaucracy) if you make it the right
way, I think the same has to be done with logos (only) in Open Source
programs.
