| It’s meant to be both funny AND highly unprofessional; Anubis makes money of licensing a version of the firewall where you can change the image. It’s a good strategy; personal websites and blogs can display the anime girl without fear, and companies that care about their image end up paying. Win-win. |

For instance: The act of searching the Arch Linux wiki produces a picture of the anime girl. (Should I just not use Arch professionally?) | | |

Or, yes, you can take the presence of the free version as a sign that the professional service is freeloading, and take your business elsewhere. | | |

| People are mysterious indeed. Letting a widely accepted png cause that much discomfort sure is interesting. |
