On second thought, I'd take this down:

Reason: The lead graphic is marked "getty" at the bottom, so it's
clearly taken from another website.
Getty is the company behind iStock Images, this image searched via
TinEye (which I highly recommend to anyone doing moderation on images)
shows the images was uploaded[1] in 2013 by BlackJack3D.
I'd take this one down too:

Because the author name in the graphic does not match the user name,
and they have not responded to your question.
This is a ceramic tile from San Juan[2] so very likely not made in
Inkscape, the email address for the store is ducart at yahoo, where as
the user on
inkscape.org is an aol address.
Because not only does it rip off (c) characters, it's a rip off
of
the original you pointed to.
The law is very clear when it gives people right to parody and create
these kinds of cultural commentary works. We take stuff like this down
on request from the original copyright holders only.
BUT. This work is still not an original work. It was drawn by
Menselijke Christen in 2014 using Coral Draw and Illustrator[3]. So it
should be taken down on grounds that it's not an Inkscape work and
wasn't made by the user
Anything with (c) marked as Public Domain needs to have some proof
that poster has the right to license it that way.
No one should be posting other people's work on the inkscape website.
Generally no. If I draw something infringing, that different to if I
copy an image from where else. There's at least a creative step to
drawing things which we should be up for defending under grounds of
free speech until asked to take it down.
