thats adds a whole lot of complications. users need
md5sum tools to verify the integrity. In contrast a
logo licensed for use only if the original isnt
modified is simple to implement. Ascii text docs are
rarely used compared to html versions. ascii text docs
can have ascii logos and a link to an explanation as I
have mentioned in a previous mail. what exactly is the
problem in doing this?
