All of us saw it and understood what it meant, and that it was from a poster who's first language isn't English. But only one of us pointed it out. Dan.
I thought you'd be more understanding being in the same boat n'alll. ;)

But I tend to agree with Mike on this one.
Ah, my friend is Google!

You could ask the AmiWest team what they paid 5 years ago as a guide.

Sacramento Amiga Computer Club had officially licensed T-Shirts printed to mark the show and were selling them to the visitors.

OTOH, Cloanto claims to own right regarding Amiga as well, which are admittedly expressed in rather vague terms:

and

inherited the Commodore/Amiga copyrights

At Amiga 30th EU Trevor also stated that contacting Cloanto regarding copyright issues was the thing to do.

Finally, it is believed that CUSA had no right to sublicense either C= or Amiga licenses, so we don't believe contacting them would be of any help to you.

Convoluted, but interesting.
So Bill has little control anymore, and Cloanto owns 3.1 and most trademarks.
That will make things a little easier.

I wonder how relevant are licenses and trademarks when we are
talking about T-Shirts and clothes.Amigas are personal computers
offered to general public and part of common knowledge so you
can paint a painting with Amiga logo.You can also look at T-Shirt as
medium to deliver art (if you just make Amiga / Boing Ball copy that
someone else uses it would be a boring T-Shirt anyway).

Just one way to avoid legal issues.If you plan to make Amiga computer
cases and keyboards it's different story.I think there was a famous artist
that painted can's of soup and I don't think he needed license from company
that made them.If he made soup then again it would be different.
