The daemon image was created originally by Marshall Kirk McKusick,
and in its various incarnations has
remained pretty similiar to the
original - both the FreeBSD and NetBSD projects use the original
daemon, with only OpenBSD adding the halo.

More detail on this subject than you could ever want is available from
http://www.freebsd.org/copyright/daemon.html
and other pages linked therefrom.
