Context

This flag represents the egalitarian freedom of information.

Design

• The yellow background implies liberty.
• The magnifying glass represents information.
  1. The magnifying glass is vertically straight to represent the lack of bias.
  • The horns represent the GNU, which supports copyleft, horns. (It probably isn't neccessary imo.)
