Federico at sourcewear feels the same. For my part, I'd like to see
better products, and more products,
I'd like to be able to order one of those Pixel Pusher shirts. The
plain white with Wilbur is boring IMO.

Yes. This is very important.

How does the Gimp benefit from this? Does WalMart get to put their logo
on the Fruit of the Loom shirts they sell? Of course not.
Personally, I think their logo has no place being on the shirt in any
permanent form. I'd definitely look elsewhere for a shirt vendor if
they're insistent on their logo appearing on any of the Gimp product. I
will help you find one if need be.

If you can pan out everything mentioned above/below equitably, then I
don't see a problem with this.

Once again... how does the Gimp benefit from such an arrangement?
Webspace comes at a premium in the industry I work in. Of course, the
Gimp isn't a company, but that's not to say we shouldn't be selective
who we contract to do our merchandising.

No.
I honestly don't mean to be so negative, but what you've proposed just
doesn't look good at all.
