The OnlyOffice vs Euro-Office dispute is ridiculous. A requirement to preserve a trademarked logo (use of which is conveniently excluded from the license grant) is not within the scope of the "reasonable legal notices or author attribution" requirement of (A)GPL 3+ IMO.
(A)GPL 3 defines legal notice—copyright notice, disclaimer of warranty etc.
FSF spent a decade moaning about the advertising clause in the original BSD license, they're not going to accidentally reintroduce one in (A)GPL 3.
