I think this would be true only if we give the rights to the
manufacturer--we could just hire someone to make them to our specs
and distribute them ourselves, under whatever name we want. We might
need to become a nonporofit corporation or something in order to make
this work.

On the name issue, I'm not at all sure I like any of the names
suggested, and think we might want to keep the creative phase open a
little longer before completing the poll.
