I negotiated this one. The rate seemed fairly good to me, based on
other agreements I've seen. Also I'm not really sure it's in the
Foundation's interests to try and milk firms that are selling GNOME
merchandise. After all, they're being good supporters of the project
by selling this stuff in the first place. Also, whatever rate we
negotiate, the amount the Foundation gets back is likely to be fairly
trivial.
