Hi !

The FreeWear is a store that traditionally worked with us, at least in Spain (I think they produce the t-shirts for the GUADEC held in Spain and other local events).

I think we should have a policy for the marketing agreements. Though I don't really know if we already have one. If this agreedment was approved, I guess we are ok giving non-exclusive permissions and we are ok with competing offers. I think there are other open questions like if all the merchandising material on sale should be approved or not by us. 

BTW, It seems that the Spanish Zazzle store, zazzle.es, doesn't have a page for all the GNOME products, and some of them are called "el GNOMO" products (it seems they are translated automatically)
