Thank you Sven for the quick answer, |
| 9 |
but this is not the first time I hear this problem. All We want to do - as Gentoo Channel Italia - is cooperating with the Gentoo Foundation. |

What me and deadhead forgot to say in the previous mails is that the money gained from the t-shirts sold has been used to cover the printing costs, while the remaining has always been donated to the Foundation. I don't think this is much different from the use that makes Gentoo Store. |

I do think that if Gentoo Foundation doesen't allow such a use of the gentoo logo, harms itself in a way, just because the only thing a "gentooer" wants to buy is Gentoo-related things, and in my opinion something with a °G° on it is "gentoo stuff" as you said. Indirectly this seems to mean that we are not "Gentoo related". This is nothing but merchandising. |

So what do we need? A Certificate that states we are allowed to sell Gentoo stuff? I'm really disappointed by this situation and I want to underline what you wrote: |

it seems like the Foundation doesen't want to cooperate world-wide with all who wants to help it. This makes things really hard. |

I must repeat that no money involved in our merchandising stuff has been used for other things than printing and donating to the Foundation. |

We want to get involved. As I said in my previous mail, I'd be really proud of letting my posters be selled on gentoo store, but it seems like a someone else's problem. |

I hope this will not end it here and that the Foundation will be interested in solving it. |
