+Freedo - The mascot of Linux-libre
+
+The Freedo character originally started off as a draft from Burnaron
+[0], who later shared a vectorized version [1].
+
+A cleaned up version was developed by Rubén Rodríguez Pérez [2].
+It can also be found at [3] licensed under the GNU Free Documentation
+License (GFDL) version 1.2 or any later version. Rubén confirmed this 
+at [4] and [5].
+
+Burnaron's version came to be called Freetz [6], with the cleaned up
+version being called Freedo [7].
+
+Islene Calciolari Garcia and Alexandre Oliva made further changes to 
+Freedo by adding nostrils, opening the eyes, and changing the brush 
+color [8].
+
+Their modified version of Freedo can be found at [9] combined
+with the GNU head and licensed under the GFDL 1.2 or any later 
+version, as required by [10].
+
+Since Burnaron's draft didn't include any license terms I contacted 
+Burnaron via email and received permission to use the GFDL version 
+1.3 or any later version. This makes for consistent licensing from 
+Burnaron's draft through Rubén's cleaned up version to the modified 
+version made by Islene Calciolari Garcia and Alexandre Oliva.
+
+Therefore:
+
+Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify Freedo, under
+the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.3 or any
+later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no
+Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts.
+
+Freedo is, however, also a trademark for GNU Linux-libre [11].
