I would not enforce trademark protections on hoodies or t-shirts, only on fishy software, or something that may contain malicious software... Stickers... well, I rather have our fans doing them, as they are more an expense than an income stream. Bootlegged Tor t-shirts are also spreading our message, and could eventually become a donation. They are also made by local shops usually, so the model is more decentralized. In Tails we encourage people to make Tails t-shirts, sell them, recover the costs and give us a little.
