You can use the WMF marks to sell merchandise only under the constraints of section 4.6 of the trademark policy:
http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Trademark_policy Incidentally I applied for a licence a couple of weeks ago for an event that we're organising with Barclays, assuming it fell under "Events and conferences" (section 4.3). I was very pleasantly surprised to get an almost immediate response that it was allowed under "Outreach and recruiting new contributors" (section 3.3) without a licence, but obviously subject to the Visual identity guidelines at: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Visual_identity_guidelines Praise where it's due, the WMF have made a real effort to accommodate genuine use of its marks. In case of doubt, just ask - they are on the ball and are trying to help.
