Re: New PostgreSQL T-Shirt

Hi,

I am pasting the comment that I have submitted (still waiting for
moderation) in this page:

Hello, I am the original creator of the t-shirt. I am quite disappointed
you say you have tried to reach me as I have not received any email from
you whatsoever regarding this topic.

That idea is personal as it represents myself as a PostgreSQL lover, a
guitar lover and an AC/DC lover. Most importantly, It is not supposed to be
sold.

Also, if you had really tried to reach me as you say, we could have
seriously evaluated donating the graphic design to the PostgreSQL
community, or releasing it under a Creative Commons license. We originally
created this graphic design and the t-shirts for our company’s use.

Ciao,
Gabriele
