This issue is not about aesthetic issues, but about LEGAL. In some former soviet republics you will be fined for public display of soviet or nazi attributics, unless you prove its art or has high historic value. Do we have money for lawyers? Hammer and sickle == USSR. For majority of people · over 25 years it means http://bit.ly/jrxW2c - chaos, poverty an poor politics · over 35 years don't forget to add http://bit.ly/kh5fAf (my grad parents could have been in that "hill") Read some history. Not to mention that foss stands for freedom and equality. And freedom and equality was key slogan for USSR. By having this logo we are entering very dangerous politician topic with almost no way to win, and no way of turning back.

The should be no negotiation: a) The logo has to be changed b) The software behind it can no longer be part of KDE. _______________________________________________ This message is from the kde-promo mailing list.
