Tux for open sew-ers (NewsForge)
Tux has gone open source in a different way. The Free Penguin Project provides free GPL sewing patterns and advice so that anyone who meets the hardware requirements can create a fluffy stuffed penguin of their own; specifically, would-be Tux tailors need access to a sewing machine and fabric. Joerg Feuerhake, the head of the project, calls the patterns "free executables.""
