Here's the legal mumbo-jumbo

To answer your question, it looks like they're all copyrighted. I think what the article is saying is to use them at your own risk. If you use them in a national ad campaign or as a trademark then you may be liable for infringement. However if you are just putting them in flyers around town then I think you should be OK.

also depends what the ad is for; if its like a college poster on a notice board, feel free to use it. if its something in the newspaper, don't.
