I'd rather leave it as "we give permission for use of our logos; the
text belongs to someone else so we can't give you permission for it,
use it under the author's license or ask them directly; or it's almost
certainly fair use/fair dealing in most sane jurisdictions; check with
your lawyer if you are at all unsure." Something as simply-worded as
possible.
