RE: nazi flag ?

Hello!

Well, my standpoint is, that flags are useful pieces of clipart.
Because they are usable, we are having them.
Some people may love some of them, some people may
hate some of them, but some people need some of them
for their graphic works. That easy :-)

Best wishes,
Lauris Kaplinski

Without writting a History Book to explain the flags, it has no sense to
have
them.
Just two lines will not explain all the crimes made in the name of flags,
including in the name of the spanish flag.
They will just led to this discussions or to move away.
History is being written all the time, what about if a make a great
composition with sodipodi, a banner defending nazism ideas? or communist?
again, a clipart is ok, but a flags clipart is the worst idea both for an
opensource community and for a sofware development project.
Send those flags to the wikipedia and made them available in an apropriate
context.
