That's not necessarily necessary if it's a very permissive license and is
written very carefully, but it is probably a good idea.

Here's my model no-nonsense license (for the "Open Use" logo; I'm not going
to worry about the other one).
Copyright license:
"You may copy, distribute, modify, and distribute modified versions of this
logo."
Trademark license:
"You may use this logo or a modified version of it to refer to Debian. You
may not use this logo, or any confusingly similar logo, to refer to
anything else in a way which might cause confusion with Debian."
Final clarification:
"(If you have a modified version of this logo which is not confusingly
similar to the original, you may use it for any purpose.)"
Please nitpick and polish. Perhaps we can present a 'fait accompli' to the
Project and SPI.
