WWW-Home-Page: http://www.lemis.com/~grog Organization: LEMIS, PO Box 460, Echunga SA 5153, Australia Phone: +61-8-8388-8286 Fax: +61-8-8388-8725 Mobile: +61-41-739-7062 Kirk, some people in the FreeBSD-advocacy group are planning to set up a certification scheme for commercial software found to work with FreeBSD. They've come up with some logos that they want to encourage vendors to put on their shrink wrap. This would only be permissible if the product has been found to work with FreeBSD. Do you have any objections? You can find the current designs on http://www.o-o.org/misc/logos.html, though I expect they'll change a little. Greg -- See complete headers for address, home page and phone numbers finger grog@lemis.com for PGP public key I think that the idea of having a certification program is a good one provided that there is some teeth to it to make sure that it really means something. Clearly the use of the daemon meets my criterion that he be used in the context of BSD software. As usual I would like recognition of my copyright somewhere. It need not be on the label itself as long as it is contained in the associated packaging somewhere. I personally like the standing daemon (facing to the left as originally drawn by John Lasseter) or the traditional FreeBSD daemon walking forward. However, anything non-obscene is fine with me.
