I don't think we need to burden the Haiku developers for that. Just publish the 
requirements and let app developers auto-rate their works. If an app is found 
to misuse the badge just remove it. 

For the other badges if they have a fee, you should call them "certified" or 
"certification" or something that sounds like it has value, not just "Haiku X 
native".
What will the fee be used for and who will collect it?
