Heh. As previously explained, both on ruby-talk and on rubystuff.com, 
the markup is used to fund Ruby sites.  On either Rails-wear site, 
CafePress makes the same amount of a purchase, but if you care to throw 
a few bucks towards ruby-doc.org and rubyxml.com, a purchase from 
RubyStuff helps out.

CafePress also allows people to make their own one-off shirts by 
uploading their own graphics. You pay the base, no mark-up, price.

With assorted sources for Rails source graphics, there's no end to what 
people can come up with to suit their tastes.

http://rubystuff.com/images/rails/
http://media.rubyonrails.org/logo/rails_logo_remix.ai

Don't care for CafePress? Take the graphics and pick a different source.

The Ruby community is all about choice.
