Greetings Chris! Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
The short version is that we're pretty permissive with our logo -- e.g., follow the same terms as our code license (BSD), and everything should be fine. I'll reply directly to the original author. I believe that Brian Barrett and I are the designated contacts for SPI; you can feel free to reach out to us directly in the future. Thanks!

As you likely already know, OpenMPI is an affiliated project of SPI. We received the email (see below my message) asking for permission to use the OpenMPI logo. Please could you either (a) go ahead and rely directly to Jonathan co/ Systex, or (b) let me know how you would like SPI to reply. Alternatively, if this is the wrong mailing list for this question, please let me know where I should direct it instead. Best wishes, Chris c/o SPI Inc.
