I'm somewhat confused as to how this would be used, and what the "Collective 
effort" paragraph really means. It looks pretty much identical to the Windows 
XP icon, and even if not a bitwise copy of it, it's still a copy for 
copyright purposes. The original logo clearly has sufficient creative content 
to attract copyright protection, and has no elements dictated by functional 
considerations.

Use of this logo would therefore require a license from Microsoft. Is its 
planned use within a license granted by MS?
