Here is my attempt:
https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/GVQ3U38_XS3PV7zO2vYeCMWFIzFZ2BaC21XF10gWwzE?feat=directlink

I doubled the image, rotated the copy, work a bit with transparent, 
contrast and brightness and it clearly looks as the mageia wallpaper.

So, we can be sure, that the wallpaper is a derivative work of the one 
on deviantart.com. However, we should confront Luiz with this. Who will 
do this?
