Strictly speaking, the IMAGES of the daemon that are on the mckusick.com website are what is copyrighted. Nothing is stopping someone from drawing a 'devil' image and associating it with FreeBSD. Over the years there have been many representations of the BSD Daemon. Not all are copyrighted by Kirk, for example: http://www.mckusick.com/beastie/shirts/bsdunix.html http://www.mckusick.com/beastie/shirts/usenix.html Both the above are USENIX copyrights - per Kirk. However, to me the most classic "FreeBSD Daemon" image that has ever been done has been the 4.3BSD one: http://www.mckusick.com/beastie/gif/bsd4_3.gif That one, and similar variants, I think also are the most recognizable one as the "FreeBSD one". And that one and the variants are copyrighted by Kirk.
