Either way, it's not a kernel issue. If distribution vendors want to
change the logo to a more polically correct one (or maybe just one
incorporating the RedHat/Caldera/SuSE logos), they are free to do so.

Linux has long had a penguin and a virtual beer associated with it.
There's no need to change that now, or to discuss it further in
linux-kernel.
