Considering he's given credit and used the license as it was intended  
(and thus used the image as the authors intended), he has committed  
no immoral act.

To take steps to make the use and alteration of the Amarok logo  
illegal would be to go against the very nature of Free Software and  
the Create Commons license. This would be against the whole idea of  
our community.

And you're right, anyone COULD do that. And that right there would be  
immoral, mostly because they'd be using our name. But we'll jump off  
that bridge when IF come to it. For now, no harm as been done, as a  
matter of fact the image has been used AS INTENDED.
