logo_font_map.pdf says:

   The Analog Devices logo, Blackfin, the Blackfin logos, SHARC, the SHARC
   logo, TigerSHARC, the TigerSHARC logo, VisualDSP, the VisualDSP logo,
   VisualDSP++, the VisualDSP++ logo, CROSSCORE, the CROSSCORE logo, EZ-ICE,
   and EZ-LAB are registered trademarks of Analog Devices, Inc.

   Apex-ICE, EZ-KIT Lite, ICEPAC, Mountain-ICE, SHARCPAC, Summit-ICE, and

Comment 1 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2013-05-04 08:02:01 UTC 
@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?

(In reply to comment #1)

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