Debian is handing the TShirts out at shows The TShirts are going out "at cost" so it's "not for profit" Nobody is making profit on the use of the official logo. It's not a restriction on how WEARS the logo but who uses it. Debian is using it to create TShirts for publicity, popularity, etc. -- Please cc all mailing list replies to me, also. ========================================================================= * http://benham.net/index.html <gecko@benham.net> <>< * * -------------------- * -----------------------------------------------* * Debian Developer, Debian Project Secretary, Debian Webmaster * * <gecko@debian.org> <secretary@debian.org> <lintian-maint@debian.org> * * <webmaster@debian.org> <gecko@fortunet.com> <webmaster@spi-inc.org> * =========================================================================
