Subject: Non-free logo included in main
Package: imagemagick
Version: 5.5.7.9-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.2.1
Debian's imagemagick package includes the ImageMagick logo, which is
apparently not DFSG free. There are a number of files in the package
which contain the logo or some part of it.
In /usr/share/

The word "logo" on that site is a hyperlink, which, when clicked, shows
what is clearly the same logo as that in this file, among others:
/usr/
A larger version of the logo appears when one runs /usr/bin/display
without supplying an image as argument. I am unable to determine where
the larger version comes from after a cursory check of the source, so
it's not completely certain that it is part of this bug.
Other files which contain the logo, or part of it, include:
/usr/
/usr/
/usr/
/usr/
/usr/
The inability to modify those files would appear to make them
DFSG-nonfree (see DFSG #3). Read the comments on Bug#212895 and search
the archives of debian-legal (there are many pertinent threads) for
justification of the claim that images are required to meet the DFSG as
much as software. In particular, I cite this post from Bruce Perens:
