Hi Racket Users,

I ordered a bunch of Racket stickers to celebrate the 6.8 release. Here's proof:

If you send me your address, I will mail you some stickers. For free!*

I'm thinking 4 stickers per request (2 rectangles, 2 circles), but if you live outside the US and promise to serve as a "volunteer regional sticker distributor" then I'll send more.**

Peace, Love, and Racket,
Ben


* While supplies last. And if you want un-free stickers, you can make your own on stickermule.com or send a donation to RacketCon 2017.

** While supplies last, and subject to the internal dimensions of the cheapest padded envelope at my local US post office.

Stickers? For free?? Count me in! How would you like me to contact you in private?

Hi,

that's a great idea. I'd like to order some at a local supplier for
distributing them in Germany/Europe.

Are there any legal issues to consider? (I did not find anything in the
documentation.)

Kind regards,
Daniel

In my unprofessional opinion:
- don't modify the logo (change colors, stretch, add unrelated text)
- don't use the logo for personal profit
- don't use the logo in politics
and you should be fine.

Do we actually have a trademark on the Racket logo?

I believe PLT can claim trademarks on the logo and the name (without
registration costs -- the "tm" rather than the circle-R), and then just
needs to police a tiny bit, to keep it from falling into the public
domain. Well-defensible claim to the name might already be lost, but if
there is a desire to protect the logo for some reason, maybe pro bono
legal advice about how to do that could be gotten. But keep it off
PepsiCo's radar.

Realistically, I don't expect anyone will make money off appropriating
Racket branding anytime soon. I would be very happy if they could.

yaa.....Although thanks to Matthew Butterick we have a logo that doesn't look quite so much like the pepsi logo any more. ^.^ (Also since pepsi is in a completely different domain I think that would make things more tricky too...)

Also, ya, I think you're right Neil.

I'd like some!  I'll email you my address directly?

Hi Ben.

At our University (VUB) we learn to code in racket, if you still have some stickers it would be very cool!
Thanks a lot,
Alexandre Kahn
