Hi I actually had a good friend of mine do the edit, he rescaled it a bit and edited the border. He did not use any AI to achieve this.
Obviously I don't consider the pride flag a political statement, because being LGBT isn't political - it's just how some of us "are". If I was asking to use it for some kind of political campaign related to LGBT rights etc, then I'd say it's different. The use of the logo is just to stick it on the website as a logo for the project, showing both aspects of what makes it unique Vs other pubnix systems: it's running OpenBSD (most run Linux or NetBSD) and it's aimed at the LGBT community and allies especially. If you look up "the tildeverse", you'll find various other systems with a particular focus, even one that's focused entirely on bread and baked goods. So I thought I'd set one up for my community as one doesn't already exist.
