No. The twelve stars is the symbol of the European Union. [...] In short, using the EU flag in the FSFE's logo will be widely regarded as a political move, even if not intended. [...]
Okay, so the stars are out of consideration. No matter what they really stand for: If we have to _explain_ our logo to some people to avoid them getting upset, it is not a good logo.
What about the standard GNU with the abbreviation "EU" or the whole word "Europe" somewhere around or inside ? This may increase the symbolic level of the image, leaving out any political or geographical problem. We apologize in case the idea should have already been suggested and rejected.
Check my work and let's me know.
