To quote from http://www.openbsd.org/art4.html:
"Most images provided here are copyright by OpenBSD, by Theo de Raadt,
or by other members or developers of the OpenBSD group. However, it is
our intent that anyone be able to use these images to represent
OpenBSD in a positive light. So enjoy them and let the world see them,
if that is your wish. "
I believe that means I am free to make and sell the cups and glasses.
anyone disagree with my interpertation of that statement?
Read the archives. Theo explained here the copyright law many times,
specifically to your situation about the use of artwork -- unless you
are explicitly given the right to sell you don't have such a right
[1]. Period, this is misc@ and not legal@, so this is not even worth
any further discussion here. Therefore, unless he specifically gives
you an OK to sell, you can expect to have legal problems. :)
