Context

This flag represents the egalitarian freedom of information.

Design

  • The yellow background implies liberty.
  • The magnifying glass represents information.
    1. The magnifying glass is vertically straight to represent the lack of bias.
    • The horns represent the GNU, which supports copyleft, horns. (It probably isn't neccessary imo.)

Here is the flag without the horns.

  • Yellow background represents liberty.
  • The magnifying glass is a symbol for information. It is horizontally aligned to represent the lack of bias.
  • The horns represent the idea of copyleft, supported by GNU.</dc:description> dc:subject rdf:Bag rdf:liinformation</rdf:li> rdf:lifree</rdf:li> rdf:lilibre</rdf:li> rdf:lignu</rdf:li> </rdf:Bag> </dc:subject> </cc:Work> <cc:License rdf:about="http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"> <cc:permits rdf:resource="http://creativecommons.org/ns#Reproduction" /> <cc:permits rdf:resource="http://creativecommons.org/ns#Distribution" /> <cc:permits rdf:resource="http://creativecommons.org/ns#DerivativeWorks" /> </cc:License> </rdf:RDF>
