 Theo has mentioned it several times this year as being the preferred
 route.  It's as simple as possible.

Another idea I guess with next to no work- high res copies of the
stickers, paid for download at CD price.

To fund the project yes but CD's are THE? route to fund Theo's ongoing
full-time dedication.

Cheque - more work than online so less likely?
cash - risk, more work than online so less likely, knowing he actually
got it?

I guess Theo could publish his sort code and account number, are gifts
tax free in Canada?

Which then get shared, and reproduced by any asshole company on the
net, much like ixsoft.de has been doing for years?

Unfortunately it is that, or gifts to me.  Which is not income.  I still
need an income to remain legit in the eyes of the tax man.

Or dera...@openbsd.org paypal, even.  That's more recent, though.

I did a quick check out of curiosity and there they are, OpenBSD
posters for sale.

The interesting fact is that at Hersteller section (Manufacturer,
tran.) is written OpenBSD.org!

What does it mean?

It means Producer, or maker

If you do a search, you will see that they sell a lot of OpenBSD
stuffare they or are they not selling official merchandise? I'd like to
hear what German OpenBSD users think of the situation. If they're too busy,
let me know.

ixsoft.de is still listed as reseller on http://www.openbsd.org/orders.html
