Hello.

Quoting from Jonathan M. Bresler (Wed Feb 22 15:38:19 1995):

There's  another  thing  to think carefully of: in many countries
(Italy for example) comparative advertising is  not  allowed.  No
matter  if  FreeBSD  is not a commercial product, you cannot have
its  daemon break Windows' (tm) logo (or any other logo).

If  you  want  the shirts and the logo all over the world (yes, I
remember Jordan said that the shirts and the rest will not be for
production,  but  I still hope they will be in the future :), you
must find something else.

Besides  any  other  legal  restriction, I find funny the idea of
breaking some Microsoft (tm) thing, but I'd not like seeing it on
the  FreeBSD  shirts. FreeBSD is postive, FreeBSD is pro, FreeBSD
is not against anything!

Bye,
