(Reusing this image)

Permission assumed under the GNU General Public License with the following rational: Converted from a GPL'd GIF image. To get the original GIF image, go to http://www.linksys.com/gpl/. This will redirect you to a dynamically generated URL, which will change every time you access any page on Linksys's website and therefore should not be copied here because it might not work the next time. Notice that the top of the page states that the files are released under the GPL. Since this states that the files are under the GPL, everything contained in the files on that page, not just the source code, is under GPL. Then look for WRT54GL under product name. Download WRT54GL-US_v4.30.7.tgz, which is a 176 MB file. Gunzip it into a 704 MB file. Untar the resulting tarball. It will generate a directory named WRT54GL_4.30.7_0620_US, which might be found in the directory WRT54GL-US_v4.30.7 or not depending on what program you used to untar the tarball. Go to WRT54GL_4.30.7_0620_US/release/src/router/www/cisco_wrt54g_m/image, and the logo will be contained in the file UI_Linksys.gif. For proof that this file is under the GPL, please see its listing on archived version of the GPL Code Center from the Internet Archive Wayback Machine.
