Rui: There are lots of cool artwork under a Cc: license on the wiki including
the hardware schematics and :
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Desktop_wallpaper_gallery
Copyright are not an issue, please. No company will give you a blanket
agreement to use their name as you please in any derivative product, but no
company will deny fans the right to make T-Shirts with their name on it, if
you show them specific T-Shirts design.
Arne: OpenMoko made it clear that they were not into selling derived products
(I can't bother to find the post, that was a few months ago.).
Cordially,
Minh
