Possibly (but I would rather seek to replace the font with a DFSG-free one, rather than keeping the Open Use Logo with the "Debian" text non-free...). I am Cc:ing the current DPL, he probably can explain the rationale.

Anyway it seems that the logo page was last updated on September 25th, which means that the logo was relicensed no later than on last September: I expected that a move to (partially) address a long-discussed issue would have been announced in a brief message somewhere... -- On some search engines, searching for my nickname AND "nano-documents" may lead you to my website... .....................................................
