History Of Freedo 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.
