I saw a similar tee elsewhere, but I like that in this case the proceeds go to OpenSSL.<p>Also, the fact that a t-shirt can be made out of this supports Patrick McKenzie&#x27;s article [1] yesterday, commenting on how this bug (or rather, its announcement) has been a case of successful marketing.<p>[1] <a href="http://www.kalzumeus.com/2014/04/09/what-heartbleed-can-teach-the-oss-community-about-marketing/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.kalzumeus.com&#x2F;2014&#x2F;04&#x2F;09&#x2F;what-heartbleed-can-teac...</a>

OP here. Mandatory disclaimer: we&#x27;re not affiliated with the OpenSSL Software Foundation but we thought it was a good idea to launch a commemorative Heartbleed t-shirt and donate all proceeds to the foundation.<p>The Teespring base cost for the t-shirt is around $11, the remaining $4 will be donated to the OpenSSL Software foundation once the campaign ends.
