I thought about that, and came to the conclusion that not having freedom was
expensive. However, I agree that broken shakles is a better symbol. Just how
to draw it is not clear to me, though. Take a look at the Open Hardware logo.
It's over-complicated for a logo, but I could not get the concept across
with less.

Maybe just a disc with wings?
