We did print a set of T-shirts at some point. They're all a bit used by now and I'm not sure if it's ok to sell them but if the price is right I'm willing to find out.
All realXtend work has been released under open source. The core development work has for the most part been done in smallish companies in Oulu and it was kick-started with funding and the realXtend name is to an extent owned by Oulu Innovation, a non-profit business development company from Oulu. However, if you are reading this message you are a part of the realXtend community and wether or not realXtend is for sale is at least partly dependent on you. realXtend is not dependent on any single company or entity and I cannot emphasize strongly enough that realXtend needs YOU and your contributions, be it code, ideas, your own services and applications or anything else. In the end, the only thing that matters is that there are people and organizations who actually use realXtend for their needs and are willing to contribute to the development. This is an open community not owned by any single corporation and thus pretty difficult to buy. Actually I'm the only person directly employed by the realXtend project (through Oulu Innovation) and it's somewhat difficult to imagine why someone would want to buy me (and I hope my contract has a not-for-slave-labor -clause in it). 2010/3/11 Ryan McDougall <[email protected]> > I don't think there is *anything* about realXtend that can be > considered remotely for sale.
