Short after having posted this message, I got a reply from Kirk
McKusick, the copyright holder of the BSD Daemon. He asked me to
translate a message to the offending webmaster, saying to refrain
from using the BSD daemon. The webmaster removed the daemon image,
saying that he got the banner from a client, and that he wasn't
aware of the copyright.

P.S. As Kirk pointed out to me, the BSD daemon hasn't a name, and is
     proud of it. So don't call him Chuck. Call him "the BSD daemon".

Cheers
