All legal questions should *always* be directed to the trustees. To put it simply, anyone selling anything with a Gentoo logo on it is breaking the law, unless they are selling a Gentoo Linux CD. In other words, the only allowed commercial usage is when talking *about* Gentoo. The Friends of Gentoo e.V. have said repeatedly that they have some agreement with the Foundation. As a trustee, I never saw any such evidence. Any licenses given out by the Foundation for usage of our logos and name would need to be done in writing to have even the slightest chance of being legal. If they have documentation, I would like to see it. As for Cafepress and such, I check it every so often and report anyone using our logos and they take them down. I have a couple places on my radar, I just haven't gotten all of the paperwork finished and sent in. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation
