Thanks for the pointer. As you note, the damage (or benefit :-) is
done. Still I have sent an email to the editor at Spiegel notifying
them of my copyright in the hopes that they will at least ask in the
future.

( Well spotted Christoph ! )
For those that don't read German, tracing back,
Text article starts here
http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/web/0,1518,675395,00.html
That is in German,
(some might like a translator web, eg http://babelfish.org )
I did read the german article (but skipped graphics).
Key paragraph:
Es ist ein Horrorszenario für Datenschützer, was Thorsten
Holz, Gilbert Wondracek, Engin Kirda und Christopher Kruegel
in ihrem 15-seitigen Aufsatz beschreiben ( PDF-Datei hier,
803 KB): Die Experten vom Isec-Forschungslabor für
IT-Sicherheit, einer Kooperation der Technischen Universität
Wien, dem Institute Eurcom und der University of California,
dokumentieren einen technisch eher simplen Angriff, der
eine seit zehn Jahren bekannte Sicherheitslücke ausnutzt.
In key para there I could click & download
sonda-TR.pdf
(though now I can't seem to redownload
http://www.iseclab.org/papers/sonda-TR.pdf )
A 15 page article in Engish.
Page 4 uses the Firefox & BSD logos.
I havent read that English [yet], but with it, any interested here
can now read & form own opinions if it seems fair to use the Daemon
logo, especially cc'd copyright holder of BSD daemon holder:
Kirk McKusick <mckus...@mckusick.com>
IMO The German article by weekly magazine Spiegel.de didnt really seem
to have anything to do with BSD, they just copied the graphics.
Personaly my 2c:
Initial reaction was I'd be a happier if a generic PC graphic had
been used in the spiegel.de web, but maybe its the price of fame,
I guess tests were done using BSD, & Spiegel thought it was nice
colourful graphic. (Politicians never looked good on British TV
Spitting Image programme, but they learnt it was better to look
bad there, & be talked about, than not seen, not recognised &
ignored).
Cheers,
Julian
