Marking books that relate to OSI Certifed software.

I am in the early stages of planning a book which will act as a tutorial 
and introduction to using an open source project which I head.

The aim is to keep the price of the book down as far as possible so no CD 
will actually accompany the book, instead readers will be directed to the 
projects web page to download the latest version.

The publisher is keen to stress the open source nature of the project, 
though the book itself will not be open source.

Is it acceptable to place an OSI mark on the book cover provided it is made 
clear that it relates to the project which the book covers and not the book 
itself?

TIA
