Who owns the copyright to the Git logo as seen here?

From examining file with 'identify -verbose' from ImageMagick you can

see
 Version: ImageMagick 6.2.2 05/24/06 Q16
(I guess that mean 24 June 2005, not 24 May 2006).

Er ... isn't that just the version of ImageMagick you are using?  (i.e. 
the same as the output of 'identify -version')

That doesn't help (much) to get to know who is the author of
git_logo.png, and what license it is under.  I expect it to be GPLv2
(or GPLv2 or later) licensed, like the rest of Git.

The majority of the early commits to gitweb don't include any comments, 
but I did find an early post from Kay to the mailing list lurking buried 
down there in my mail folder:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/1075

I guess that the logo referred to is the same one ...
