Using a state symbol [*] of a oppresive country (the red star) in 
clearly Stalinist context. For me it is not much better than using the 
Wehrmacht  cross and marching troops as the symbol of Mozilla.

The problem is there are still some some people around (like me) who had 
to live in the shadow of this very symbol. It's not funny for me. Rather 
pathetic.

* The inernational symbol of the revolution (not that I prefer it as a 
Mozilla symbol) is actually a red flag, not red star.
