Btw. the wallpaper is _not_ offending the German law. Even for Germany there are seemingly exceptions for this law, e.g. comedy on television does use swastika and not everybody who wears a patch with a swastika that is thrown into a garbage can is sued, but at least some people with a crossed out swastika had serious issues. Books as "Mein Kampf" (My Battle [US title]/My Struggle [UK title]) are forbidden. Wearing a "LONSDALE" T-shirt, while a jacked is covering "LO" and "LE", so that it reads "NSDA" like "NSDAP" is allowed too, but not welcome. -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list ubuntu-studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
