who's selling those t'shirts? i'd like to know whether my money is going to
a good cause:
http://www.cafeshops.com/plan9gear/
have they signed the license? paid royalties? would they mind putting this
on t-shirts too:

I don't know, but I'm glad to see that the ``Plan 9 classic thong''
is only US$8.29. Surely the royalties on that would mint someone a
small fortune.
If nothing else, it'd be a great thing to hang on the Unix room wall.

hey, the text on the page with the glenda images explicitly requests
that you send us (well, them now) a copy of anything you make using
them, for the collection. and the lab guys didn't set this up because
the prose at the top of the page talks too much about unix and doesn't
know the difference between seamless and seemly. yet this is the
first i've heard of this.
it's weird.
still, the classic thong and baby's bib make a great outfit.

Their IP page is here:
http://www.cafepress.com/cp/info/help/iprights.aspx
"Our Intellectual Property Rights Agent is Abdul Popal, who may reached by
mail, email, telephone or fax as follows" and so on...
On the other hand the glenda page (http://plan9.bell-labs.com/plan9dist/glenda.html)
states:
Feel free to use these images to make t-shirts and other paraphernalia,
but if you do a production run, please send us a sample for our collection.
Now, since I'm a Contributor (or I will be once the new license is out and
I've written anything worth putting in the distribution) I should be
eligible for a small piece of this "sample". If no t-shirts are available I
could make do with a pair of size XL panties, since the thong appears to be
spoken for.

You're taking this too seriously. There's no problem
with the page or whoever set it up. The line on the
glenda page is a request, not a demand, and you could
argue that using cafepress.com is not really a production
run anyway -- none of the stuff on that page exists until
you order it.

Then again, maybe you're not. ☺

Uh huh. Andrey, a bit of advice: there are some things it's best
not to advertise in public....

I trust you'll send a picture to the list once you try them on?

The BBQ apron has possibilities too.
