Which is true?
The project does not receive a dime from tshirt (or poster or sticker or puffy doll) sales, and never has. Tshirt sales were setup as a 'business development' model for the two primary resellers (high up front production cost; high storage space; medium handling effort; but because tshirts often accompany a cdrom sale or cdroms accompany a tshirt sale -- therefore definate volume increases). Letting the distributors retain the tshirt profits was supposed to balance with them giving the project a fair profit on the sale of CDROM sales. In this latter regard there have been some problems, which are not yet fully resolved. There's more to this story, but perhaps I'll continue it later.
