Interesting point! I get the impression it would fall under fair use,
but at any rate I wasn't a fan of the Wikipedia article screenshot so
this is fixed in bug #862867. I'll mark this one a duplicate for that
reason.

(And, turns out I forgot to push release 50. Oops).

Title:
  Ubuntu installer uses non-free Wikipedia logo

Status in “ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  During installation using the Ubuntu 11.04 Desktop CD, a screenshot is
  displayed of a Wikipedia page viewed in the Firefox web browser,
  including the Wikipedia logo. The Wikipedia logo however has not been
  released under a free license, and so cannot be displayed without a
  license from the Wikimedia Foundation. Moreover, depending on the
  article, the screenshot may contain other non-free images (I didn't
  get a good look at it). If the logo is scrolled out of view this
  screenshot would be fine.
