Hmmmm, read literally it would seem to prohibit almost all use of the logo.

If we look at:

http://jena.sourceforge.net/

there are three logos and some design elements consisting of blue 
horizontal lines. At least to my eye, the intent seems to be that all of 
the lines and the logos hang together as a coherent whole, and are not 
'stand-alone'.

I think the rules for use of the HP invent logo (not on the Jena page) 
specify an amount of white space separating the logo from anything else 
- typically the HP logo is used in a way that combines with other design 
elements, but at a discrete distance!
