First, I want to make clear that I express no opinion on the ink conversation. I respect the diverse points of views in our community. I understand that everyone has their own stripes.
That said, I am deeply saddened and frankly shocked by allegations voiced by certain people in this thread that somehow I would consider eating Tux, the official mascot of the Linux kernel. As a supporter of the free knowledge movement, I hunger for role models like Tux. Penguins are known for their outstanding qualities[1], and, showing my good taste, I recognize that my small LCA Foundation profile [2] hardly matches the prominent recognition of Tux’s Wikipedia article. [3] I accordingly decided long ago that Tux was off the menu. To the contrary, I offer my paw in friendship to Tux. Some say that open source animals are full of bugs, turning them into organic delights. I do support organic meats. I mean friends. Organic friends. Delicious, organic friends. I am really hungry now. (I’m not allowed to eat legal interns anymore.[4]) Tux, let’s get together soon, real soon, maybe over lunch. Best, Rory Mascot, Legal and Community Advocacy *Disclaimer:* I cannot give legal advice because I am not licensed to practice law. I am also a stuffed toy animal without human intelligence.
