This is true but I also understand why package authors want to make
them accessible as easy as possible to those who are allowed to use
them.

The best solution is to add the logos to either tlcontrib

  https://contrib.texlive.info/

or a similar server maintained by the institution.  The package
documentation has to describe how to add the particular repository to
TeX Live.  The easiest way is to describe how to add an additional
repository on the command line with tlmgr.

Of course, whatever is published should be accompanied by a license
statement, preferably in a directory searched by texdoc.

Regards,
  Reinhard
