Last month I did a system update on my Tumbleweed installation.

Some weeks later when logging in, I noticed something strange with the OpenSuse Breeze SDDM login background image. I realised that the cool looking plan like image was using layered architectural plans. And then looking closer I saw something that was thoughtlessly or intentionally done.
The OpenSuse logo is neatly placed in the toilet. Take a look for yourself (far right hand side of the image). In fact there are toilet symbols all over the image.
As an Easter Egg, yeah maybe it might be a funny surprise, but from an OpenSuse marketing perspective, not cool.
Um, err, not really a laughing matter – there was also something about the Leap 15 boot animation …
[HR][/HR]Maybe, it might be, a good idea to make the community aware that, a little bit of caution with respect to boot and login graphical content is not the “wrong thing to do” …
Come on. If no one would have pointed out this one, I ( and AFAICS most others ) would never have noticed. Re. the boot animation: there are people that don’t see lampposts, churchtowers etc, but … If it was up to those people we wouldn’t have anything at all. I coud easily sit down and claim to see sexual content in half of the icons provided, in Tw’s boot animation…
IMNSHO the designers have done a beautiful job in providing us with a consistent theming of both our distros.
An office floor plan is something which is is drawn up by an architect and, therefore, it is copyrighted …
It’s unlikely that, SUSE owns the office space in Prague.
Therefore the floor plan is either the property of the building’s owner or, the construction firm or, the architect’s office …
In many cases, architectural schools are part of a university’s art department – architecture is often viewed as being an art form and therefore the copyright issues around the “architecture of a building” are from a legal view point, heavy, difficult and expensive …
[HR][/HR]Solution:
Make an abstract line diagram (art) which has the form of a floor plan but, doesn’t reflect anything to do with the floor plan of any actual building.
