As a FreeBSD developer, I take no offense in this logo and find it very
beautiful in fact :-) Beside being the Linux mascot, I think Tux often
represents Free Software in people minds. Of course some users will
think that Nouveau is specific to Linux when they see this logo, but the
day we work on porting the driver, it's our job to communicate the fact
that it works on FreeBSD too.

All in all, the logo won't stop us from stealing Nouveau :-)
Congratulations Valeria for your work!
