Nope, and I realized that there is a problem with it. Money we make
through cafepress etc. is "unrelated business income", so what would
need to happen is that someone would have to receive the money
*personally* then donate it to SPI and deal with the taxes.
Also, for our donation status, it's important that we not offer the same
t-shirt design on cafepress that we do for donations at conferences.
Otherwise the t-shirts at conferences become a sale and we have to pay
tax on them.
