Symel GIF Cartoon Seven: Killer Fish Sticks


You see Symel being taunted by a killer whale. I AM THE POWERFULL KILLER WHALE, YOU'RE A PENGUIN! LUNCH TIME! it says. Symel replies with NOT IF I REPROGRAM YOUR SOURCE CODE. A beep is heard and the whale turns into a small fish, which Symel promptly eats. OPEN WHALE, UNDER THE GNU GENERAL WHALE LICENCE she retorts.

Comments: This is a joke based on the GNU GPL. I used the term "open" rather than my preferred "free" because saying "free whale" does not sound as nice.
Note: the killer whale, alternately known as the orca, does inhabit the oceans near Antarctica, although they are black and white rather than grey.
