When Gilad suggested this logo everyone involved in the preperations of
this Amuta liked the idea (and nobody objected), so it stuck by default.

I think the "beak" idea is great and should be kept. If there's any artist
here that can draw a good "beak" logo that does *not* look like a penguin's,
maybe it will be a good idea for the vaad to consider - because people do
have a point - a penguin logo will make people assume that we're either
about Linux, or we don't know that Linux isn't the only free software out
there.
I can imagine Richard Stallman's outrage if he saw this logo :)
