i tend to agree here. leaving everywhere our fingerprints is a good
thing. from the pr-psychological reason, i would brand anything that
is
1) easy to brand (up to the maintainer of the piece if it is easy
enough or not)
2) not forbidden to be branded/changed by upstream rules
3) makes it look decent (starting opengl fireworks with the arch-logo
displayed when you launch an kde editor for example is overdoing it)
4) do not associates us with something we are not associated with
