They are complaining about the use of the cube logo, the Silicon
Graphics font logos, referring to the workstations in plural such as
"Indigo's", using official pictures and not having a disclaimer that the
site is not authorized by Sgi, no products sold here are warranted or
authorized by Sgi and no warranties as far as the accuracy of

I put the disclaimers on my site, but no one has asked for the logo to
be removed. I don't have the resources to fight either.
