I did not see a specific response regarding the issue of the t-shirts.
I would be happy to see some guideline on the issue.
To move this forward, I present my guess:

*★* You cannot sell stuff which use the foot logo or "GNOME" without
explicit permission from the GNOME Foundation. However, you may
make t-shirts, bussiness cards if you are related to GNOME and you
contribute to the effort. For example, a local GNOME team can make
t-shirts for the team member use.
In addition, it is not so easy to make a composition of what to print on
the t-shirt, the bussiness cards, etc. Also, the GNOME Foundation would
like these types of work to look good.
So, if you want to print t-shirts, bussiness cards or anything else, 
contact the
marketing mailing list and report there. People will be glad to keep a copy
of the image/SVG  for future reference and other people to use.
Keep in mind that people from the list reserve the right to say "this is 
awful, do again".
In addition, you might get some help to make it better, as proper 
designers are
members of the list.

How does this look?
