Re: [GNUnet-developers] logo rework + software ethics

[carlo von lynX]

Martin, excellent: a CADET logo!  :D

This guix-derived logo is amazing. For the print version
it's enough to remove the backlight effect, so no big deal.
So from my understanding of logo design this thing is compliant.

Krumelmonster's are also very neat, but I perceive
the gnu as too prominent - I prefer the subtleness of
the illuminated gnu star system in the networked sky.
Also, the printable b/w version ends up looking very
differently from the colorful icon one.

I don't think logo design has a lot in common with icon design...

Is Technology neutral? A question that goes back to Dürrenmatts
"Die Physiker". Just yesterday I heard somebody answer that
question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C74amJRp730

If code is law, how can code be neutral?
Law is either ethical or unethical, so is code.
An elaboration on "code is law" and how society
could go about it pragmatically to make sure that
software implements the ethics we want:
