Google’s Dennis Hwang picked Jessie Du from Rydalmere East Public School, Sydney NSW, as the winner for google doodle to commemorate Australia Day in 2010
The winning design in a competition to create a special Google logo for Australia Day used the yellow circle from the Aboriginal flag as the second O:.
And that’s where the problem started.
The Aboriginal flag – recognised under Australian law as one of the flags of Australia – was first used in the early 1970s and so is still under copyright. Harold Thomas was recognised as the author of the flag in 1997. Thomas declined Google’s request for permission to use the flag without paying a royalty, and his position didn’t change when offered “a pittance”.
Interestingly, no permission is required to fly the Aboriginal flag, which is manufactured under licence.

the australian aborigine flag apparently is copyright-ed property, and google couldn’t come to suitable terms upon negotiations with the copyright owner. hence removed.

The 1/26/10 Google Doodle for Australia celebrating Australia Day.
Upper version is the original winning entry and the lower is the one actually displayed due to the jerk who owns the copyright on the Aboriginal flag image.

Will the scoring for the 12/29-12/31 period be worked out? I only ask because I think I’m coming up on 100.
It looks like there are 3 puzzles for the period (though 2 have 12/30 as a date and 1 of those has been scored.), but there are only 2 available slots to put them (869 and 870).
