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.

It appears in places where that are neither personal websites nor blogs, and that are places where professionals conduct work.

For instance: The act of searching the Arch Linux wiki produces a picture of the anime girl.

(Should I just not use Arch professionally?)

If you care that much, you can donate money to Arch to buy a commercial license, or inform your sales rep that you find their conduct unprofessional.

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.

		I see. I take this to mean that we have some kind of (perhaps-fundamental) difference in the ways in which we understand how free software works. (That's OK, comrade. I'm not here to change you.)

There’s nothing funny about it? Also seems like a lose for the personal websites and blogs when people bounce because of it.
