Package: imagemagick
Version: 6.2.4.5.dfsg1-0.10
Severity: wishlist

I think the rant in the replacement splash image "Original ImageMagick logo is 
not DFSG Free" is a bad idea. It is confusing for non-tech users and serves 
little purpose other than making Debian look like a bunch of zealots. One 
could argue that it helps to inform users of the situation and pressure 
upstream to change, but I don't think that is worth the negative tradeoffs. 
While there seems to be consensus against Debian redistributing non-free 
images, I don't think there is consensus that the project should try and force 
upstream projects to only have free logos.

I think it would be better if that text was removed, and the replacement image 
just be a simple Debian branded logo. The README.Debian has a good 
explanation, that should be enough for anyone that needs to know more.
