What about showing the "sea of software" where some (say 2 or 3) big
fishes|sharks|whales with logos from M$, IBM, Bull on their skin are tryi=
ng to eat
many small fishes (including the linux penguin, the BSD devil, probably t=
he little
java man (but sun is still a big player) too) which try to escape. They a=
ll swim
into a direction where a fishing net of the EU (many blue, some yellow st=
rings) is
waiting for them (but it is too small for the big fishes). So there is no=
 real
escape for the small fishes.

As this image is already too complex, we can add a boat with the US color=
s to which
the EU net is connected.

Maybe we can also compress this image into an animated gif (but the gif L=
ZW
compression patent is already hold by a company called unisys or so :-(( =
so we
cannot use the image in the US) where the small fishes including the linu=
x penguin
and the bsd devil are hurrying up and then the sharks of M$ and etc are c=
oming, all
this painted on a water blue with a circle of yellow stars (showing that =
the EU is
creating the background for this situation).

What about this?
