 Yeah, I think it is. If it is legal to sell GIMP, it
 might be legal to sell mugs with Wilber. Refer to this
 page: http://gimp.org/about/selling.html

I'd be very careful about this. I am not a lawyer, but IMO it is wrong
to assume that selling things with the GIMP logo is legal without a
written agreement with the author of the artwork. But it is probably
safe to assume that noone is going to sue you if you donate a fair
share of your bargain to the GIMP project (http://gimp.org/donating/).

The page you referred to clearly only deals with selling the software.

Hi Gilberto!

Yes, it is legal to do your all artworks, for profit or not, based on 
the GIMP art.

AFAIK all artwork that is officially related to the GIMP is licensed 
under the GPL, so, if possible, you could attach a text in a label 
with the mugs stating that the artwork can be reproduced, as far as 
the GPL terms are satisfied. Most people do not do that - and no one 
will be sued for nto doing so, certainly.

However, I personally consider a  copyleft label on stuff that is 
indeed copyleft a good thing, in  a sense that people that do not 
realize that most other things are copyright begin to do so.


If you need any further help, yo may contact me in portuguese.

Regards,
JS
