The discussion in this thread makes it clear that there are two problems
with this logo, one technical and one political.
The technical problem:
>From a technical pov it makes no sense to put big image binaries into
the repository when a small svg image would be sufficient to generate
all other images.
The political problem:
For an open source project a closed image is a no go. We (and by we I
mean we as the community, not we as Pengutronix) must for example be
able to:
- generate versions with different colors, sizes, dimensions
- generate a logo without text
- modify the image and to redistribute without limitations
- add a journal to the logo and use it for bwn.org (barebox weekly news) ;)
