For the record, I think enough has been said about this issue. What I don't understand is why is there so much hoohah about a picture like this? Cyanogenmod is a custom ROM for Android created by Cyanogen as a home made custom ROM for a small group of people in the past. It was about openness, more open than Android's open-source-ness is, apparently. This picture apparently symbolises freedom. Naturally there will be 2 camps of people, those who feel that this freedom should stay as it is with the picture and those who feel that professionalism is at stake and the picture should be removed.
But this is just a photo of a group of hot babes right? Is it really so unprofessional? Furthermore, one of the developers (after making the decision to take this photo off), has already uploaded it for anyone to use. I don't get why people still need to make so much noise after a decision has been made. Just get over it already. I think ultimately the spirit of Android is about choice. There will definitely be people who are fine with this and people who are not. The final decision (with the uploading of this photo) is the best compromise. Period, so people should just keep quiet already.
Oh by the way, I'm a proud user of Cyanogenmod and I have been a tester for CM7 alpha ever since Build 10. It works great on my rooted HTC Desire Z. For more info, check out http://www.cyanogenmod.com/ or you can ask me. =)
Open Source FTW.
