What happens when you print any of the > currently available FreeBSD logos? I'll tell you. No, I don't think this is about printing. The leaked document in its initial form mentioned *replacing* the FreeBSD daemon. No mention of cleaning it up was made. It even included a bunch of guidelines for contest entries, including: * The logo must not exploit or offend a person's sex, race, religion, morality, culture , nor be salacious or pornographic. Now, if you look at the URL that was originally leaked, http://logo-contest.freebsd.org/announce.txt You'll find something more carefully worded: This is the future site for the FreeBSD logo competiton which is meant to create a new logo for the FreeBSD Project to supplement the current Beastie mascot. Despite an early draft announcement that got out we are not quite ready for the logos yet. Please watch this space and the freebsd-announce mailing list for more information in the near future. http://logo-contest.freebsd.org/ This is looking like one of two things at this point: A bait and switch, meaning it is nothing more than an attempt to make those opposed to replacing Beastie feel like they're involved, while those with the ability to make the final decision choose something not including Beastie, or they realized that the whole idea was a bad one to start. I can almost guarantee that if this was for nothing more than a printing cleanup, none of this hype would be happening. Besides, the FreeBSD Mall doesn't seem to have much trouble printing up *their* T-shirts.
