Hey, Sure no problem using the graphic. I am quite stunned that it was
involved in any converstation. Maybe you can tell me exactly how it
got involved, I would be very interested to hear - It was a long time
ago, surely my graphic was not responsible for there being discussion
over a Linux Logo which resulted in the penguin?

Anyhow, I am very keen to associate myself with the graphic in
question - the details I submitted alongside the graphic at the time
are very much out of date.

As for what I am doing now, I am chief engineer for a verified
identity provider in the Identity 2.0 metaverse  :)  Working closely
with others on the development of OpenID, cardspace and such.

Kind Regards,
David
