Re: the footer text, on Wikimedia Commons, we designate the logo as public domain on the following grounds:

This logo image consists only of simple geometric shapes or text. It does not meet the threshold of originality needed for copyright protection, and is therefore in the public domain. Although it is free of copyright restrictions, this image may still be subject to other restrictions. See WP:PD § Fonts and typefaces or Template talk:PD-textlogo for more information.

And I agree. There's nothing copyrightable to steal.

I just included that because I was already crediting other people and rule of threes, it wasn't meant to be serious.

That's 100% fair; I wasn't meaning to imply public domain means "you should never credit it". I should've been more clear that I was just adding a neat tidbit rather than criticizing the good practice of citing sources (albeit done here superfluously for comedic effect).
