Are they reading the SVG with their eyes and painting every pixel one
by one, with their own hands?

They will open - probably GIMP or by shell running convert - and let
standard libraries do the format conversion.

Are you worried about the acceptance in "main" repository because of
Creative Commons? No problem.

Provide two sets of images/icons/logo in two separate folders: free and orig.

For example in the orig, you can put a penguin, in the free an image
of the same size with a smile text written in it TUX.

When the software does not find the orig folder, try to load from the
free folder. If both fail, load a pattern/color or render a text.

If you cannot change their minds, let your software run around them... LOL
