I think this case should be discussed: Adriano, you are the first to make
this specific request but certainly not the last :-)
My personal opinion (I guess at some point the BoD will have to deliver an
official opinion on this): don't use the Document Foundation subline, but
you can customize the LibreOffice logo, as it is part of the LibreOffice
project (you and the PT team work within the LibreOffice project with an
official URL, etc.) However it is also important to avoid country specific
mentions, etc. But in this case I think you worked it out nicely.

Best,
