Ok - I've been not precise enough:

Of course people can ask at [email protected] for approval if they 
want to use the logo.

As this list is private, I can't share it's content with the community, 
but there are lots of requests not replied to (at least on the list 
where the replies should be for archive reasons).

Just a few days ago one of the volunteer working on the list proposed to 
use the old logo or ask Oracle directly about allowance for the new one.

The last positive reply I found (might miss some among the amount of 
SPAM) was yours from March 2010 - pointing to the logo archives with the 
old logos at this time.

The German PrOOo-Box and PortableApps wanted to use the new logo, but 
haven't been granted for months (part of the present discussion on 
[email protected])

This is not the serviceable policy OpenOffice.org should use to 
encourage people to promote our community and product.

So I have to repeat the part you didn't comment:
