Email received by User:One Salient Oversight on 18 April 2007 from Xiph:

At this moment we assert normal copyright, but have never [to my knowledge] refused anyone permission to use the logos. I have to admit much to my own embarrassment that I hadn't even considered putting a CC license on the logos instead. For the time being, you have our blessing to use the logos while we discuss amongst ourselves the idea of moving them to a CC license. Monty
