In other words, why would you want to use the font from the logo anywhere else in a design ?
Not the font, but the logo itself, the way I see it they are actually two logos: The bubbling f with enclosed within the infinity symbol, and the word "fedora" written with the font (for identity), so you have a text logo and an image logo.
The way I see it, the logo is the combination of the the two parts you mention.
But it doesn't matter what I think or what you think, it matters how "the logo" is defined as in the usage guide.
Which is why the usage guide is important. What constitutes the logo and how it is used becomes not a personal decision on a case by case basis, but a uniform policy.
