I sent this to RH trademarks counselors - this is FYI, not sure if council need to approve or not:
As part of transition to SPDX identifiers in Fedora [1] we found that fedora-logos uses proprietary and non-free license [2]. There are several options [3]. And most appealing is to publish a the files under public license. I submitted the pull-request with this change.
As Red Hat is holder of Fedora trademark, I would like to review this please:

I've created a topic on Fedora Discussion for this ticket.
Please keep this ticket focused. Discuss there, and record votes and decisions here. Thanks!

@msuchy with a year after passing and the SPDX licence effort in its 4th (and final) phase, I believe I can close out this ticket as it was serving an 'fyi' purpose. Is that ok with you?
Metadata Update from @amoloney: - Issue priority set to: None (was: 1)
No, please do not close this. This is still not resolved.
All I need is Fedora Council statement "OK, it is free to relicense to XXX" where XXX is one of the allowed license.
Thanks @msuchy I will add it to todays council meeting agenda to see can we get this one resolved.
