Burning all GIFs on Python.org?

I'm not in favor of using the Python website as a focal point of
political activism.  When we get a letter from Unisys we'll see what
we need to do; in the mean time, this seems rather blown out of
proportion.  I find Unisys' stance annoying and ill-advised, but I
don't see a need for python.org to take action unless we're pulled in
by Unisys, which at this point seems rather unlikely.  I'd rather pick
a more interesting battle (and I'm not referring to Python vs. Perl
:-).

Besides, all our GIFs are legal.
