Hello, Linus.

I am requesting licensing information about or permission to use the original penguin image you proposed 
upon which Tux was based, hosted at ftp://ftp.cs.helsinki.fi/pub/Software/Linux/Kernel/v1.3/ccpenguin.jpg, 
for use in http://en.citizendium.org/wiki/Tux.

As I am not sure who the author of the image is, I am wondering if you might point me to that person. If 
you otherwise know the licensing/copyright data of the image, would you kindly inform me?

Regards,

Stephen Ewen
