The OVS logo is in the OVS source tree, as
Documentation/_static/logo.png, and so, as with almost everything in the
OVS source tree, the Apache 2.0 license applies to it.

I believe that some kind of trademark has been applied for, for the OVS
name and logo.  I don't know whether it has been granted.  I don't know
what license will be used.  However, I doubt that use of the logo within
Wikipedia would be likely to cause confusion in the minds of the public,
and so to the extent that I understand trademarks, I suspect that no
permission would be needed for that use anyhow.
