Clearly your usage qualifies. You have already provided a link to my copyright message, so I don't need to request that you do that :-) The highest resolution image that I have is available at http://www.mckusick.com/beastie/gif/bsd4_3.gif. See also http://www.zer0.org/daemons/wc/standing_daemon.jpg. Alternatively, there is a vectorized version that can be scaled to any size you want in /usr/[src/]share/examples/BSD_daemon on recent FreeBSD distributions. My only correction to the BSD_Daemon web page is that daemon and demon are really different words. A daemon comes from the old English and means a deified being (half-man and half god) while a demon is an evil spirit. Marshall Kirk McKusick
