I would like to buy some Linux merch, but I don't want to just buy it from some generic supplier -- I would like for all of the proceeds to be used to support open source, or tech related foundations (Linux Foundation, FSF, KDE, GNOME, etc.). I woud also appreciate it if the merch supplier didn't just blindly donate, but sent proceeds intelligently -- where they are needed most, and where they will be put to the greatest amount of work.

I'm aware of the cross-post button, but I don't like how it functions -- it doesn't link all the related posts together, and it unnecessarily turns the body of the post into a quote.

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.
