Barring a comment from ftpmasters you should err on the safe side.

Let me quote:

   You are authorized to use our trademarks subject to this Trademark Policy, 
and only on the further       
   condition that you download images of the trademarks directly from our 
[35]website. You are not          

Your packaging of Mediawiki does not do that. Users of your packaging
do not do that. That alone is grounds for unfreeness.
