+Greenstone is a semi-precious stone that (like this software) is sourced in
+New Zealand.  In traditional Maori society it was the most highly prized and
+sought after of all substances.  It can absorb and hold <i>wairua</i>, which is
+a spirit or life force, and is endowed with traditional virtues that make it an
+appropriate emblem for a public-domain digital library project.  Its lustre
+shows charity; its translucence, honesty; its toughness, courage; and the sharp
+edge it can take, justice.  The carved piece used in the Greenstone Digital
+Library Software logo is a <i>patu</i> or fighting club, and is a family
+heirloom of one of our project members.  In hand-to-hand combat its delivery is
+very quick, very accurate, and very complete.  We like to think these qualities
+also apply to our software, the razor sharp edge of the <i>patu</i> symbolizing
+the leading edge of technology.
