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

SPI Trademark Team, SPI Legal Counsel, and Debian SPI Project Leader,

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
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,

	The GRUB Packaging Team
