From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

These are only meant to help for cases where the full tux is too detailed to display, see examples in the linked README. But the shape also works well for single fill cases, like in the keychain example. I wouldn't want these to be used when the full tux could be displayed in all its glory instead.

~~One issue I have is I do not know how to license these properly, I wouldn't want them to show up in a trademarked logo or anything, but I would still want them to be freely usable as tux icons anywhere. What do you think?~~

I have chosen the CC BY-SA 4.0 license, thank you for helping me!

I think these either need the beak to be a bit irregularly shaped or needs a black line inside the beak to make it more clear this isn't just a big hole in the face but an actual bird beak.

But other than that its great! And that's of course just my personal opinion, you do you!

i did go overkill with the simplification, so its easy to see other things. but at small sizes i feel it works better.
