Re: Skolelinux logo history

Skolelinux inception happend when NUUG came up with the concept Teach
the teacher, and its labour happened at a party held by Håkon Wium Lie
after the demonstration against Microsoft being allowed to 'define what
Internet is', and its birth was a few weeks after the party when Knut
Yrvin called for a meeting to start the Skolelinux project.  Around the
same time Raphael Hertzog started the Debian Edu metapackage initiative,
and after a while the two initiatives merged.  The rest is, as they say,
history. :)

Based on old email, I believe it was created by Vidar Tyldum in 2001 or
2002 using Photoshop, and recreated by Herman Robak using Gimp soon
after the first edition showed up.

My quick email search did not show anything about license.  I believe it
can be considered licensed the same way as the mascot, which I believe
was discussed on this mailing list a while back.  I was not able to find
the mail thread, but perhaps someone else remember the details.
