It seems there is a forgotten option: drop it. The whole idea of the "Open Source" label (that it is better to avoid the word "free" in order to please the suits) is wrong, in my opinion. As a simple Debian developer (a small one, with a small participation to the project), I have no interest in this trade mark (unlike the Debian one!) and I humbly suggest to SPI to work on its other projects instead.
