            Bug ID: 280999
           Summary: Excessive (R) Requirements Result in Merch
                    Proliferation
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Advocacy

Everyone (including comitters and core team members, I've seen their laptops in
person and asked them) buys FreeBSD stickers from third parties because the
foundation requires (R) at all times on the FreeBSD logo. Afaict nobody else in
our industry does this except us.

I have no FreeBSD stickers because I want to buy them from the us instead of
letting some random third party profit, and the (R) just looks hideous.

This also looks very silly on the newish bootloader.

FreeBSD is an extremely established brand. This is the torchbearer of the
original operating system distribution.

Please, take back the FreeBSD brand by removing this excessive requirement. I
think I can safely speak for the community in this regard that everyone would
prefer to buy them from the Foundation store. Thank you for your consideration.
