I'd say the logo file itself is free. It's just trademark law that
limits what we can express (no matter if this file is used or someone
draws something themselves). (Same like other laws forbid to claim
things are written by people it is not or that someone advertises
something which they do not and so on).

As long as the logo itself is under a free license and your map does not
misuse any trademarks, I see no problem..
