> Does Facebook allow it?
Who cares? Facebook is a zero sum game at this point for advertisers/content creators. Facebook stacking the odds like a casino does chuck-a-luck. There's only them winning here, nobody else.

The site owner that might be sued by Facebook for copyright infringement, for starters.
Facebook has no right to have their arbitrary code on other people's websites. So they can't force any specific way to show their button. From the end user's perspective it's all the same.
Except in cases of fair use, which isn’t nearly as broad as people think, the use of other parties’ images is subject to whatever licensing restrictions they choose to put on them. You can choose not to display their images if you do not accept those terms.
That’s a very broad question. For one thing, fair use is a concept only in US law. Other countries may have their own versions of it, but all of them have their own unique limits. Even under the US version, it is not at all clear that it would fall under fair use. If I start making t-shirts with the Facebook logo on them, is that fair use? No, it isn’t. Is there much difference between that and putting it on a website that I make money from? The right jury would say no.
