     in no particular order

     1. OpenSSH. a clever play on words, a frankly indulgent use of shading, a timeful (antonym of timeless) use of drop shadow, and a tagline that never has, nor will, seen any use. all displayed as a GIF that can be easily made over ten kilobytes smaller by simply converting it to PNG, a format that has been supported in web browsers since internet explorer 7 launched in 2006.
     2. strace. the choice of an animal associated with an idiom about ignoring things that make you uncomfortable as the mascot for a tool frequently used for performance tracking is inspired. the look on its face asks if you really want to resort to using this tool. the presence of those varying line thicknesses harkens back to the era of microsoft's clipart library. it's comforting.
     3. pigz. no abstract representations of concepts or animal mascots here. the name of the project in a soothingly round font, progressively fading away, like an echoing voice shouted into a cave. it encourages your inner monologue to voice its name with reverberation. there can be no doubt as to the project this logo represents. powerful.
     4. GCC. a baby GNU is born from a compiler collection egg. a clever representation of what GCC does, while still incorporating the overarching GNU theme. it gives a refreshing youth to one of the oldest C compilers still in contemporary use. helpfully, the egg is labelled "GCC" in italic capitals. a striking display of clarity and purpose.

     @apropos @lynnesbian "Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.".
     
     If the "GPLv4" is a proprietary license that doesn't defend the users freedom, it would simply be invalid.

     >or-later
     Stallman is calling people "maggots" and "muskrat". This or-later clause lets a single compromised version to strip all the protections you expect.
