I think that anyway anyone can use the LibreOffice logo (without the
subline) according to our TM policy. But I'm a bit skeptical as to how
Paulo defines the people who contribute to LibreOffice and that we
apparently are not aware of. We have defined pretty much (and with some
range) who are contributors to our community and our project. The notion
that somehow these people should not be trusted is weird and not really
friendly-sounding. What do you mean, Paulo, that whatever contributors
do should be taken with mistrust?

So yes, we're talking about stores, not about anyone selling a T-shirt.
In fact, anyone can sell a t-shirt with the LibreOffice logo without the
TDF subline: I don't think it helps TDF, and I think it does anything
but covering the cost of T-shirt production and whatever profit you want
to make out of it. But I would also see disadvantages as clearly saying
that we support anyone using our logo: otherwise why would we have any
TM policy (and why would we have a foundation anyway?)?

Best,

Charles.
