As a user that has reaped far more benefit from the FreeBSD, and thus 
from its developers, than I could ever contribute, I agree with Dan's 
rather concise answer.

I have expressed my views in the email lists; and if I had any talent, I 
would submit a logo.  The decision, however, belongs to the Core Team.  
They've certainly earned it.

FreeBSD isn't a country of oppressed people.  Using FreeBSD isn't some 
sort of god-given right.  Often, we users could have a little more 
humility, show a little more appreciation and be a little less upity.  
(Did I spell that right?)

Respectfully,

Andrew Gould
