The T-shirts are just free publicity for Fedora.
I dont think Novell is attacking all websites selling SUSE T-shirts,
or Ubuntu or Mandriva or...
If it doesen't harm, then why be angry about it?

They are not just selling cd's.
They sell Tshirts, pens and other, usually this should only be selled by

The guys from debian, only let autorized people sell stuff with debian
logo, this is a way to rise founds.
The cd's i dont see any problem as we have the list of autorized vendors
