So the Linux logo can explicitely be modified (derivative work)
You mentioned that:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Whereas is coreboot we have (from http://www.coreboot.org/Logo):
| This logo or a modified version may be used by anyone to refer to the
| coreboot project
btw, the mentioned projects do not seem to have a problem with svg
files:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/74/Mozilla_Foundation_logo.svg

Could you send a license text?
Thanks
