My opinion in the past has been that anyone asking to sell GNOME merchandising should be able to get a trademark license for a reasonable price (say 10% of revenues) - we have a contract we drafted for a jeweller who wanted to make GNOME branded jewellery a while back, I don't think they ever came to market, as long as we have not got a GNOME Store that's official. Once we have an official GNOME store, it's reasonable that we not give trademark licences to people who will be directly competing against the store in markets it services.
