An OLPC Shop could sell a collection of gifts with a low to medium production cost but a very significant donation component under a protected brand.
Obviously the OLPC Shop should be a certified OLPC fundraiser.
Goodgifts
- An OLPC Shop could offer, besides XO Giving, XO certificates, good gifts and Unicef supplies (e.g. school-in-a-box)
Other gifts
- The OLPC watch - for people who like to look at their "watch" at others with great care. (G1G1: get one watch, give one laptop)
- The Wikibooks puzzleball showing children with XO laptops and a Wikibooks and/or OLPC logo.
- One could cooperate with LimeWire and allow artists to sell their music through the software, e.g. with 50% going into the Special Laptop Program. (A very plausible connection between "music" and music, one could say, which is also in line with the view that "replicators" [1] should be charities.) Artists could be given the choice to use DRM or to ask for payment in exchange for a "valid ownership tag" in the file, which would be playable without the tag. [2]
External links
- bookzilla.de donates the commission (5%) for books bought through the site to the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSF Europe).
- ^ A badly defined term, of course, and just a view, not the view of anybody specific.
- ^ The German band BAP has made a song available for WorldVision [Noh Gulu], The German Red Cross distributes a free CD every year before christmas [herzen oeffnen], together with a money transfer order for donations.
