I think they've watered the demon down to serve as an acceptable logo. Has
about as much meaning to it as the Linux Penguin. It looks good on shirts,
which is probably it's most important purpose.
Someone once told me that they used it because it was the UC Berkeley
mascot - hardly. They've been the Golden Bears for as long as I've been a
Californian - 19 years (the first 3 in diapers).

Why, is a figure offensive in its caricturization used as the logo for
FreeBSD? The logo represents a daemon. What's offensive about that?
