I haven't got the answer at hand.... Also not sure which wiki page you
refer too?
Have you looked into the image folder in the lazarus installation?
There is a copyright file that has info on the licenses (and creators)
of the images. So if you got the filename you can check if it is listed
there. And who the author is, if the current license is not permissive
enough.
If the file is there, but not in the copyright list, then the git
history might reveal who authored it. And hopefully under what license
the lazarus project has received it.
I, myself, am not a gfx artist, and I don't know much about what
licenses are used for gfx, and/or what they permit.
But it would be my guess, that at first it needs to be established, what
rights the team has (i.e. under which license it was give to us). And,
if the same license is in place for others.

Hi,
My name is Tony Stone. I am a long time user and fan of Lazarus. I am
writing here to try and get permission of sorts for using the Lazarus
logo as part of a online community a few IRC users have been setting
up. Our community is not trying to appear to be directly affiliated
with Lazarus or FPC and we make it clear in our home page of our
Rocket.Chat server. But I do really want to replace the Rocket.Chat
logo with something a little more friendly to our project and being as
our chat community is a modern alternative to IRC and mailing lists I
just want it to have a more modern appearance without third party
branding. I would like to use the "Blue gear head" logo as part of
the chats logo... so basically what i asked a graphics designer to do
is put it inside a chat bubble thing with our Lazarus chat URL
wrapping around it. I see on the wiki page it says they are free to
use for promoting Lazarus and FPC, which is what our rocket.chat
community is doing. The Wiki just is not very clear here on if
modification is frowned upon. Again I am trying to make sure our site
doesn't look like it is trying to compete with any of Lazarus or FPC
officially preferred communication platforms. Thanks for your time.
