Thanks for the info all, as Arne correctly spotted I was only interested in helping fund global domination, which does not come for free. I can design my own T Shirt and have it made but benefit to OM = Zero. Not interested in this at all. If OM have made it clear they are not into derived products then that answers the question I asked and the subject is closed. Thanks again, like I say not all ideas can be winners ;-) or should that be :-( -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD4DBQFJNx0BXlbjSJ5n4BARAgjEAJix4AGF62tVkHobyMQIyewOl4V5AJ413rCM 1vkAfFjDqFaBnLlHM1/vgw== =GJi2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
