Pretty self-explanatory but the idea is to combine the "share" logo with the crossbones. The message is peers 2 peers, from many to many, sharing is caring, but the deisgn still recalls the awesome pirate flag.

Looking at this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jolly_Roger

It looks like the main historical elements used in pirate vexillology were:

  • a skull

  • a skeleton

  • crossbones

  • a sword, spear, or dagger

  • a heart, often bleeding

  • an hourglass

  • elements of period seagoing clothing
