A small footnote saying that the logo is GPL and pointing people to the FSF's 
Web site should fix this.  There are plenty of cases of software being 
distributed without a complete copy of the GPL - binary rpm's for example.  

The important thing is that people _can_ get the GPL terms and the "source" 
for the image, not that they get it immediately.
