The issue is the image is a crop from a picture in a Playboy shoot. The issue is not a licensing problem, it’s not a technical problem, it’s that the field for 50 years has used as a reference image a crop of a Playboy centerfold. We have to keep justifying changing it based on licensing and on the technical merits because fundamentally as a field computer science is still about 12 years old and can’t seem to understand why using a crop of a Playboy centerfold is both unprofessional and exclusionary, but the actual problem is the image is a crop of a Playboy centerfold that we’re continuing to use despite it being obvious even back then that it was probably a bad idea.
