Stole the PCLinuxOS logo.
Well it appears that they didn't copy it, so if they stole it, they did it well, as I only recognize the similarity of a blue circle, which is pretty generic. I'd say the logo looks more like the Nissan Motor Company logo.

#13It would be nice to see all the open source php projects out there once this site picks up. Nothing like good ol' free software to stick it to the man!
Err, that's not really the point of free software. The free software movement is more about freedom than not paying money (libre vs gratis).
You really want to stick it to the man? Pirate proprietary pay-for software. But you wouldn't want to do anything illegal now, would you?

Beware that in some cases, that's still a net gain for the proprietary vendor: if you weren't able to pay much for, say, Photoshop, better to have you as a Photoshop user who will buy it at some later date, recommend it to your friends, and otherwise participate in the Photoshop using community, rather than, say, learn Gimp on Linux.

If anything I'd say it's a rip off of The Germs logo.
[Edit] I did a quick search. They are all stolen from Blue Circle Industries. See for yourself:

But really, probably not. Someone else must have had it before.

The Germs logo and PCLinuxOS logo are closer than the srcphp logo and The Germs logo. But given that they are all variations of blue circles, there have to be thousands of companies/organizations (At least) with a variation of the blue circle, chopped or whole.
