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.

Having this logo e.g. a t-shirt is exactly the same as e.g. having a t-shirt
with "I support war in Iraq" in middle of Baghdad and call it non-political.

The should be no negotiation:
a) The logo has to be changed
b) The software behind it can no longer be part of KDE.
