Was it for some trademark/legal greedy reason we aren't allowed to use him anymore? Who is allowed to use him now? What does Beastie represent now? The reason why I'm asking is because I want to make a GDM theme that includes Beastie in it. In all the gazillions of years I've been using BSD's, Beastie has represented the true face of Berkeley Unix and it would be a dying shame to see him gone forever!
