The original logo featured a top hat, magic wand and a star. "Mandrake the Magician" is however protected by copyright, so a name change was in order. With the merger of Connective and Mandrake, Mandriva was born. I suppose they kept the star as a link to the Mandrake heritage and since the copyright-infringing items were the name, top hat and wand, but not the star, keeping the star was OK. The original name survives in the drak* tools. -- Hoyt
