Paul, you are absolutely correct, money maker or not, if you use the logo
someone could get in a snit about it because you have broken the law. But
(you knew there was a "but") IMHO, that's about as likely as a radar cop
pulling you over for one mile over the limit, because, technically you are a
scofflaw and a speeder and could be cited. ;^)
Anyone willing to go out on a limb and design one? I could probably get
with J Zorn and come up with someone to print them.
Safety Fast!
