If, for example, the GNOME foot (which is in the wiki) were released to
one person by the original author under by-sa or fdl, and then
redistributed from there, we'd be SOL.

If, for example, the foot's creator never did such a thing, but someone
else marked the foot file as CC by-sa or fdl, and then that got shipped
around, then the original author could certainly ask for correction.

Is it not The GNOME Foundation who owns the copyright to the logo? I
thought the author of the foot logo image provided the artwork as a
part of a contest.
No - as far as I know, the foot is copyright jimmac. jimmac can confirm.

Cheers,
Dave.
