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.)
Here is the flag without the horns.
