Probably not much if any, but "a list" implies "a criterium" : even "random" is a criterium.

If you mean "the description" or the alt= of the logo, then yes: but the logo itself (even if the image contains the "word" phpBB) wouldn't.

There would be no fool proof way to do it. It's impossible to find every board in the internet and determine every single software through HTML outputs.

Another criterion is to check the URL structure, as phpBB boards often have a "/forum" or "/phpbb" directory in their URLs.
That's a lie. Or was this supposed to be a question lacking a question mark?
