The licensing depends on where you are. Most countries have amendments
to their copyright laws preventing person a to profit from person b's
work of art without paying royalties, meaning you can't sell the logos
explicitly or include it in a product in such a way that it
significantly raises the market value of that same product.
This assumes there's money involved ofcourse, so I don't think the
Debian project is in any real danger.
Btw, when you're done with the .deb, would you mind uploading the
.spec-file equivalence to be included in the distro dir of Nagios?
