Seems to me like Samurai Chef is providing a service. Just because

On the other hand, Samurai Chef isn't really creating anything.
Isn't he programming the website http://www.discountmugs.com/ ?
He is creating mugs that people seem to want to pay for and those mugs
will leave a message in favor of OpenBSD everywhere.

profit split between the artwork creator and Samurai Chef? Or how about
a three-way split, one for OBSD/Theo?
How about thinking if he is allowed to use the (copyrighted) artwork for
commercial use?
Did he get the permissions? Does he have an OK from the copyright owner
to market these mugs using a copyrighted artwork?
Samurai Chef should make sure he sends Theo at least one cent and
loses at least one cent on his project so it's not commercial and over
all a donation to OpenBSD.

p.s. Make sure the "RTFM" is as bold and big as possible, if artwork
is needed for that, please mail me.
