You could add: "two lawyers, three opinions". ;-)

Basically, it would not be a bad idea to consult a lawyer
for the implications that apply in the _specific_ jurisdiction
such a t-shirt is produced and worn in. For example, what
about wearing a BSD daemon on a t-shirt in public? Is this
"unsolicited advertising"? But as long as nobody complains,
I wouldn't see a legal problem. But as I'm not a lawyer, I
don't see the problems _they_ tend to see in order to write
a fat invoice. :-)
