Why should The FreeBSD project be interested in users ? It is not a
commerial project. I think the FreeBSD folks are interested in making a
cool unix-like operating system, not much else.

My personal view is that the "daemon" logo performs as pre-filter to
help us locate "reasonable" users. You are either a sufficiently
advanced as a person to "deal" using a product that has a daemon for a
logo, in which case we welcome you as a user of one of the finest
operating systems around. If you are not sufficiently advanced to
handle this concept then you won't use our product in which case the
only thing we miss out on dealing with yet another religious bigot.
Where's the downside?

2 cents,
