With all due respect, you are missing the whole point here. The Linux mascot is not a *real* penguin. It never has had babies. Your original question deals with real penguins.

Please count the number of times GNU tools are used by people who use a desktop environment. Its no longer just about GNU and Linux. The organisation is here for the purpose of Free Software in general (at least thats what I think).
