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. - Urias
