Hello Achim, for the logos, I strongly recommend you to check with their original authors if they approve their use. Not only in that case there is no license information, but also logos are under the risk of being subjected to a trademark. The PNG file you made is borderline non-free if you do not include the original vector file to your Debian package. Fortunately, you can use the Dpkg format 3.0 to make a multi-tarball source package, so it will be trivial to add hdf5.tar.gz. This said, it is an excellent initiative to add a logo to the desktop file. If you get positive feedback from the authors, you can also try to make a SVG version from the Illustrator or the PDF source. Gnome and other resource-generous desktop managers can use SVG icons. Also, the FreeDesktop standards allow you to specify the use of this icon for the files that can be opened by the hdfview. You can find some hints in the following wiki page: http://wiki.debian.org/MimeTypesSupport Lastly, desktop-file-validate(1) is your friend.
