I hate to keep bringing things like this up, or start a legal war, but this 
screensaver is more than likely a copyright and/or trademark violation, and 
bringing it into the source tree may not be a good idea. Yes, lots of 
people may be making things like this, but it would probably be best to 
distance FreeBSD itself from such a thing.
