The "mascot" page contains a link to the mascot discussion on the GDB
mailing list.  In one of the thread's mails Jamie Guinan provided his
archer fish logo:

  https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2001-07/msg00316.html

That mail points to a web page where Jamie had placed the logo:

  http://www.bluebutton.com/misc/archer.html

And that page contains a link to the license.  (BTW, I found it curious
that these links are still intact.)
