Don't Worry, It's Open Source!

On February 19, 2004, I noticed some news about the FBI's anti-piracy logo.

Apparently, kids these days don't pay attention to the words printed on music CDs, inside video game manuals and on their boxes, and played at the beginning or end of movie videos...

So, they came up with this:

Department of Justic, Federal Bureau of Investigation:
FBI ANTI-PIRACY WARNING

It's kind of like those "Winners don't use drugs" displays on the attract mode of video games, I guess. Though, I'm not 100% positive what exactly this logo does, other than warn people... about... umm... anti-piracy? Huh...

Anyway, as an Open Source developer, and advocate of Open Source software as an alternative to the kind of stuff that people feel they need to pirate, I decided to take the Open Source Initiative's 'official' "Open Source" logo and make my own variation of the FBI's new anti-piracy logo.

Here it is! Enjoy!
