Did I miss part of this discussion or is this what you regard as asking for permission to use the name and logo for some arbitrary unspecified sum? The wording suggests you will decide what you "donate". Maybe this permission was sought elsewhere. My apologies if that's the case. Not that you've spent a lot of time on the design but shouldn't this start with saying you have customers willing to pay $14 and how much would the project team accept for your profiting from their name and hard work? I would think anyone paying $14 may imagine they are donating the profit on the sale to the project. It seems like the $3 is a sales donation for a direct link leading to a sale. Do you also make a donation if a Gimp referal leads to you selling a Ubuntu shirt ? How is all this followed. I am not a member of the gimp team but I think you owe a bit more clarity and respect to those who's FREE work and brand prestige you wish to cash in on. Maybe you would like to explain better how your accountability for attributing sales and donations works. To and outsider it seems a bit opaque. I'm sure it's just your small scale , easy-going way but the good manners of going about things the right way never hurts. Nice carousel you have for printing BTW. If all your shirts are 5 colour hand printed screen prints you should put that up front. It would help justify the price tag. regards. >> >> You can find our website in http://www.freewear.org/ >> >> Regards, >> Ismael Barros >> ____________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
