[Wiki Loves Monuments] WLM merchandise

[Lodewijk]

Hi Platonides,

I'm pretty sure the intention of Susana here was that no naming/mentioning
requirements were strictly necessary at all for WLM purposes (so that it is
most useful as a logo). If you wish you could ask her of course to
rephrase.

The point is that you name/mention where reasonable (as a Good Citizen) but
if it obstructs you in the usage (like on a T-shirt) it wouldn't be
necessary. That is why I asked her to add that exception.

Hope that clarifies,
Lodewijk
