Yes it is legal for KDE to use KDE's logo in any way we want to. We want to support KDE contributors and users who are LGBTQI+. If it blocks people from funding KDE then we do not want their money. That you have to ask shows we still have a long way to go in showing support for an important issue which affects many people.
