There is not consensus among the core Project members that doing this is a good idea. IMHO that is why they agreed on a contest, because the pro Beastie group is hoping that the anti Beastie group would get bogged down in the contest and lose interest, and the anti Beastie group saw the contest as a way of defeating at least one argument - that the new logo would look terrible from an artistic point of view. > >FreeBSD doesn't need strings attached via corporate entanglements, in >my opinion. > FreeBSD already has entangling corporate strings - Apple is one of the entanglers for example.
