People are getting quite upset and I want to make sure we are clear as
to what is Official in Ubuntu and what is not. The image links are
possibly NWS.

=== Official ===

Still included in the ubuntu-calendar package.

These are the ones that we can speak up about if we feel the need, but
it's already been hashed out quite thoroughly. Susana posted that great
link about the discussion back in 2004:

=== Not official ===

As Susana explained, after the above "calendar" images came out, people
not involved with ubuntu started making jokes about how "Ubuntu uses
naked people to promote their OS" - the following are a couple of those
images.

Aside from expressing our displeasure at people putting such images
online, there really isn't much we can do about the non-official ones.
Ubuntu is NOT using these two in an Official capacity to promote the OS.
