At this point, I leave it to samurai, theo and the artist to work it
out.  It shouldn't matter to us what the split is as long as those 3
are happy, and anyone of them can kill the project if they're not
individually happy.

Having said that, a metal mug like suggested, would be more of what I
want, if I could afford it :-)

Seems to me like Samurai Chef is providing a service. Just because
others do things (like program) for free doesn't mean they shouldn't be
paid for it.

On the other hand, Samurai Chef isn't really creating anything. Maybe a
profit split between the artwork creator and Samurai Chef? Or how about
a three-way split, one for OBSD/Theo?
