From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Does the money go back to the distros?
Apparently it goes toward sending customers "Liberal Moron" shirts instead of their requested designs, and also illegally underpaying employees. So... I doubt it.
I think the price is more to prevent people from spamming orders than to actually make money. StickerMule is propably losing on this stickers to make their site more recognized.
Would you consider editing the main post with the details from here? At least one person here has explicitly said
And I'd guess many here would like to know that before deciding whether to support the company.
