I think Wikipedia could right about the screenshots of the Mac OS X interface, in particular their logo, might not being allowed to have a CC-by-sa license. It might be that Apple owns the rights to such an image. A similar argument holds for IE, I presume. However, I thought it was a trademark issue, not a copyright issue. (I vaguely remember reading of a case where a Mustang Car Club somewhere decided to make a calendar of some of its owners cars to attract more member. Ford sued, or threatened to sue - I forget - based i think on trademark infringement.)
