> a daemon, not the Devil.

Many years ago, I was working in some Islamic countries where getting literature through customs was very hit and miss, depending on the religious sensibilities of the inspecting agent. I actually called the FreeBSD office and explained to someone that it would make my life easier if I could get copies of their material without their devil logo. The person I talked to was completely unsympathetic. "Just explain to them that it's a daemon, not a demon."

Pretty sure that Daemons (and all other supernatural creatures from Greek myths) would be frowned upon by a religious inspector from any Abrahamic religion.
