@Licenses team: My only idea would be LICENSE="fairuse". Some of these logos are marked such on Wikipedia, for example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Blackfin-processor-logo.png
These are low-resolution bitmap images though, so I'm not sure if it would also apply to the font itself. We're fishing in murky waters here.

@vapier: Is this package still needed?

i have no need to keep it around myself, and i believe ADI has internally killed it off a while ago
