I believe Badzt Maru would make an excellent icon/mascot for a Linux distro. His name means "wrong-correct" or X-O, an excellent choice for the type of discussions we've had on these lists. However, Badtz is a copyrighted and licensed character of Sanrio. Perhaps they would grant a free license to a non-profit community organisation, and it wouldn't hurt to ask, but probably not viable. Copyright conflict is a Mandriva legacy Mageia could do without. 8) Here's a Wikipedia entry for the curious: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Sanrio_character -- Hoyt
