T-shirts would be good, I'd like one myself, but only if the risk is
manageable and it can be avoided to tie too much funding up in inventory.

PS. Also, in the context of *specific* MSO bugs, it can be pointed out
that OOo is not affected. OK, there may or may not be other problems,

The two topics for that letter are trademark useage and LGPL
