In that page it's written: "OASIS welcomes references to, and
implementation and use of, its specifications. In cases where there may be
some confusion about source or authenticity, such as any incorporation of
an OASIS mark into some other product, service or organization name, OASIS
will ask the user to include a clear acknowledgement notice of the use of
OASIS trademarks in three places; the primary web page referencing the
named item, the principal written promotional collateral about it, and any
press release regarding it, such as the following "OASIS", ["SAML" and
"Security Assertion Markup Language" ] are trademarks of OASIS, the open
standards consortium where the [SAML] specification is owned and
developed."
If I read these paragraphs literally, by using ODF icons without
fulfilling the quoted conditions AOO will infringe OASIS trademark policy.
It seems another little task of IP clearance... :'(
