Is the skull shown when choosing not to pay for Ubuntu in the spirit of Ubuntu?

 

Mark,
My brother who deals with a lot of people here in South Africa who use
Ubuntu because they genuinely can't afford to pay for an OS was upset by
the icon shown when you choose not to contribute. He was quite happy with
the mechanism you are using to obtain funds and liked the other icons.

Just the icon for "Nothing, Use Ubuntu for free." looks like a skull and
crossbones. This is completely the wrong connotation. It links to piracy
and Foss is about moving away from piracy.

I humbly request that you change that icon immediately. I'd suggest make it
the Ubuntu logo in the interim.

Thanks,
Raymond
