I don't agree. The license is pretty clear: "The only modification you can make ..." and the license is based on a FOSS license that includes permission to modify (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:MIT?rd=Licensing/MIT#Modern_Variants) but the Lua logo license removes that permission. Is the logo actually used in any way? It didn't seem to be on a cursory review.
