Luis,
*
SPI isn't Debian's master.* SPI can not change licensing on Debian's
property without direction from the Debian project. And the requested
change is not trademark-related, it is entirely about copyright terms.
Please arrange for your project to officially change the license. The
project leader can do it by fiat (it is a simple thing, after all) or
you can do it through your resolution process. Tell us when you are done.
Thanks
Bruce

a thread regarding this [2] the logos are not compatible with the DFSG
[3]. This is horrible. Debian should set an example and use the DFSG
for its artwork. We would like to ask for a change of the license to the
Open Use Debian logo so that it is compatible with the DFSG.
Looking forward for a response,

I am the mantiner of the new grub-splashimages debian package and was
recently submitted a very nice Debian splashimage [0]. The splashimage makes use of the Debian Open Use Logo [1] but unfortunately due to default licencing and to the very vague copyright notice, and confirmed by debian-legal on
a thread regarding this [2] the logos are not compatible with the DFSG
[3]. This is horrible. Debian should set an example and use the DFSG
