I'm pretty sure I read sometime in the past that the artwork was
released under MIT license as well (don't count this as fact)...
Stephan would likely be the one to ask since a large percentage of the
artwork is his.

The Haiku logo and name are still trademarks of Haiku, Inc. and use of
those for non-approved purposes requires specific permission.

No matter where the artwork is used, the original is always copyright
the author that created it, and Haiku's repo has historical proof of
this.
