"One of the longer-running sagas here on Techdirt concerns the
disgraceful situation regarding the flag of Australia's Aboriginal
peoples. Mike first wrote about this in 2010, and again in June of this
year. The problem is that what is now widely regarded as the flag of
Australia's First Nations was designed fairly recently by a private
individual, not a group representing those peoples, or some official
Australian government body. The designer, Harold Thomas, signed a
licensing deal with a clothing company, Wam Clothing, which imposes
hefty fees for the use of the design, even on non-profit health
organizations giving away items that bear the flag"
