I'm pre-reviewing lshw: Hardware Lister

The upstream source contains svg logos to represent some common hardware:
http://ezix.org/project/browser/packages/lshw/releases/B.02.11.01/src/gui/artwork
The upstream developer has stated:
"All the cliparts except the Intel logo were created from scratch using
Inkscape and are released under GPLv2 (cf. the tags in SVG files). The
Intel logo was converted from the official Intel EPS."
Logos for AMD, Intel, bluetooth, usb, and images representing the form
of various Apple products {with a visible apple logo} are amongst the
other artwork.
My impression is that they we could not be include this artwork, unless
upstream has received explicit permission from the owner's of each
trademark to use the actual or re-implementation of the logo in open
source software.
Can we include the logos ?
If not, can we patch the source to not use the affected logos when
building the package - yet still include the full .tar.gz upstream code
that includes the logos ?
