Mandriva entered the world named "Mandrake", after Mandrake the
Magician, a syndicated newspaper comic strip. The original logo
featured a top hat, magic wand and a star.
"Mandrake the Magician" is however protected by copyright, so a name
change was in order. With the merger of Connective and Mandrake,
Mandriva was born.
I suppose they kept the star as a link to the Mandrake heritage and
since the copyright-infringing items were the name, top hat and wand,
but not the star, keeping the star was OK. The original name survives
in the drak* tools.
