Branding rules [1]:
"Logos that don't represent the LibreOffice software or the Document 
Foundation, but are related to it in some way, may use the LibreOffice 
symbol to show the relationship they have to it without adhering to the 
above guidelines. Examples of derivative logos are logos of the 
individual LibreOffice modules"
