It's an idea, but I seriously doubt any non-Linux users would get the
reference, just from the graphic. Other Linux people might get the
reference, maybe - or not; I wouldn't think "Gnu", just from the image
(and no title). I see "GPL", I think "free", and "keeps the lawyers

mascot a penguin?".
The flying Tux is an idea, tho.
