For what values of "it"?  FreeBSD is an operating system,
not a logo.  Most people's decision to use the OS aren't
based on its mascot, I would hope.

FBSD has close ties with the "Beastie" artwork, to be sure; but
saying that the "designers won't stick by it" when referring
to artwork (rather than a "work of art"  --- that is, the system itself)
is a emotionally biased statement.  Not that such is inappropriate,
but to contend that FreeBSD isn't worthy to use because of
contention over "marketing" type issues also *seems* unwise....
