Maybe, but I have seen many different penguins (althought the one from
the (Marc or Larry?) Ewing guy is still the most common), and whenever I
see one I know it's about Linux.
So maybe people should not be picky about exactly which elephant is
there ...
Maybe open source/free software just has a different attitude towards
logos. Maybe it's just me.
