Absolutely, I was only joking. I think the picture is cute and the
sentiment of a warm cuddly teddy bear in front of a moonlight window
is apropos to(for?) the project. Also, I just put my kids to bed. :)

I'm glad the name is sticking. I created a logo (which I hope will be
replaced!).

https://github.com/WinLua

For clarity,

The project name would be WinLua, the current output would be the
WinLua Installer. The "Installed Product" would be Lua XX Bit. The
"Manufacturer" of the "Installed Product" is PUC-Rio and the Kepler
Project (lfs). The license of the "Installed Product" is MIT. The
license of the installer is er... I think I'll relent and make it MIT
(Not FreeBSD. Sad face).
