Hmm. The gnu is the FSF mascotte. I think we would need to distinguish
debian from the FSF. There are strong interactions, but debian and the
FSF are not the same thing.
These are my current raw ideas:
On the idea of sharing software:
* software, represented by a string of zeroes and ones(`bit string'),
going from one hand to another
* same `bitstring', going from one head to another
On the idea of `free' software:
* bitstring breaking loose from a window with broken bars
* software with wings (this is really rather vague, maybe a flying
bird's silouet made up out of zeroes and ones)
