Having some indication that the company uses LO and is not a contributor 
to the project would be needed.  "Powered By" or "Created By" may not 
make sense unless they use Baseto generate the invoice itself.

It would be nice to have a logo created for this purpose stating that 
this business or individual is a user of LO for their office suite 
needs.  "Proud User of" added to the logo in some want would really be 
nice.  Then having such a logo on personal and business web sites would 
be good marketing as well.  How many web sites have you seen that has 
small logos/icons stating that such-n-such product was used to create 
the site? I see them all the time on all but the biggest company sites 
or selling sites.
