But since FreeBSD is, as the name implies, free, and since software patents threaten the development of FreeBSD as much as that of GNU, wouldn't it be better not to support GIF and use PNG or JPEG instead? I was going to download some FreeBSD logos, but I could only find these "powered by..." logos, and all of them were GIFs. Thus I decided not to download them, because the idea of having a collection of logos of free software made of GIF files seemed to be rather weird to me. Greetings, Andrew Brehm.
