Beagle, all the way! Proudly coming from the biggest (and so far only) Beagle fan!

If they want Beastie the BSD demon (because he's the most voted in this poll), to return, I've heard there were a lot of issues, although I see that the model is based on Poul-Henning Kamp's depiction, which is a very permissive license. You should read https://www.freebsd.org/art/

There was no licensing issue at all in having Beastie in STK, this use was fitting the requirements and there was explicit approval from the rights holder for this use.
The main issue was people from Debian messing with the game to remove the kart because they didn't like that the license was not fully free. And that was far from the first time that Debian messing up with the game caused problems. When STK was still using standard Irrlicht, the team had to modify various kinds of limits in Irrlicht headers that were too low and constrained what the game could do. The original Irrlicht team didn't want to update their headers, but Debian had an insane policy of trying to force system libraries whenever possible, refusing to use STK's modified headers that had the increased limits the game needed. As a result, they shipped broken versions of STK.
