	No matter what kind of product it is (a t-shirt, a cd of the knowledge base, etc.) it's impossible to not mention homestarrunner.com, which means that if that product is sold, the wiki benefits financially from the existence and popularity of TBC's creations. So, unfortunately, I don't think it would be ethical to sell stuff. TBC are already very gracious in permitting us to gratuitously copy material from their website and put it on ours, so I'd feel bad making money off of their work. {{User:Trey56/sig}} 21:27, 2 June 2006 (UTC)		No matter what kind of product it is (a t-shirt, a cd of the knowledge base, etc.) it's impossible to not mention homestarrunner.com, which means that if that product is sold, the wiki benefits financially from the existence and popularity of TBC's creations.
