There are several options: * The logos might be under a free license * The logos might not even be shipped (not a big deal for Perl and Python, which are primariliy command line applications) * The trademark protection only includes the name, not the logo, and so it doesn't force the owner to defend its usage to keep the trademark. For example https://www.drupal.com/trademark https://www.drupal.com/trademark mentions a drupal icon which is subject to traemark, and a logo, which is not (unfortunately the log link is a 404).

Trademarks that are only for the name are actually handled differently? If that's the case it would explain it I suppose. First time I hear of this being a special case. Yeah, Drupal has the wordmark branding and the community branding as separate things. I just brought up these examples because all of them have Debian packages that apparently have no issues being named after the project but there are of course numerous others.
