It's hard to make extremely huge profits selling CDs of free software (and |
5 |
soon, t-shirts.) I don't think you may realize that having a NFP allows for |
6 |
much more funding potential than a basic CD/t-shirt business. The difference |
7 |
in potential is very much in favor of the NFP. |

If you know someone who is interested in running the store for the NFP, let |
10 |
me know. If I find a good job somewhere, or find something else to occupy me |
11 |
full-time, I'd like to be able to hand it off so that others can run it. |
12 |
It's not exactly thrilling to burn and ship CDs. |

The trademark licensing arrangement is there so I can make the determination |
15 |
of when to hand off the Store, rather than have someone else to make this |
16 |
determination. I do not see a big future in the CD printing and T-shirt |
17 |
business, and I'd be very surprised if the Gentoo Store becomes a long-term |
18 |
career for me. |
