	Well it is because I feel that I owe the users/programmers of 
freebsd something back.  Since I am not a Supreme Unix Guru, yet; I 
cannot contribute to the source code.  I do graphics, and I am ok at that 
(I like to think).  And yes if I would make profit on them I would sell 
them and donate the remaining to the project, but it is way too much of a 
hastle to deal with that.  I would rather make them and sell them to cut 
out even...  If the Fbsd project really needs more funding, I would be 
willing to sell them for profit, and donate.

	At any rate; I don;t want to deal with profits and all that hastle.  
My tax lawyer already hates me :).  

	I am opened for slogans though.  Why don't people send me what they 
think they would like on the bumper sticker.  Obviously the demon will be 
on most of them.  I am willing to make several different logo's and open 
a voting session.  Then I would print out what people are most interested 
in.  I will think of a few slogans, and hopefully take some input from 
the peanut gallary.  And I can put up the designs on the web (thank god, 
someone for the web ;)

	So far we have the plain "Powered by FreeBSD" which I am sure will 
be popular.  Any other ideas out there?
