Think of it this way: I privately invest money in printing and sending stickers (with risk to myself, too). I will inevitably have extra money or a deficit in the end. If there's a deficit - I foot it. If there's profit, I say it "belongs to the marketing team". I realise now that it's not entirely correct to say so, because the team cannot have property. From now on I will use "will be used for the benefit of the marketing team and spreadubuntu".
What I intend are small bounties, possible investment in next batch, other material etc.. Bounties are a great way of motivating people. One bounty was given out in the MT, by Lloyd Hardy - for the best marketing idea (I don't remember what it was). The recipient decided he would donate the bounty to a charity :). But taht's not a necessary thing, of course. The whole initiative's purpose is NOT generating revenue, but it might be a side effect.
