Copyright doesn't exist in a vacuum someone owns the copyright on the logo, it's up to them to determine who they want to transfer / license that to. Trademark will be up to the USPTO and other jurisdictional bodies to determine who has the right to use it to minimize confusion to consumers.

The people doing all the work are "stealing" from the "community" that contributes much less? If someone wants to fork here, it seems like they would also need to step up the amount of contributions they're doing if the people currently doing the work are the ones organizing a way to make some money to pay for their time.

The example of Emby vs Jellyfin is illustrative here. Emby was "the open source Plex alternative", then they went commercial, then they went closed source. The community forked the last open release as Jellyfin, and despite most of the previous contributors being employed by Emby and the Jellyfin community being newer contributors, it's clear that Jellyfin has overtaken Emby these days, and has put more of a dent in Plex market share than Emby ever did.

Or I mean even Gitea has been on the other side of this, while the Gitea contributors _were_ gogs contributors pre-fork, they were not the largest.
