Re: Tor GUI competition

Hi Jonathan, others,
 
One of the Debian developers pointed me to your note today about the
Tor GUI competition. Thanks for helping us get the word out!
 
I wanted to answer your question about prizes, though -- if we have
prizes then it's legally a contest of skill, and (so our lawyers tell us)
we would need to include many pages of legal text, disallow submissions
from most parts of the world, and so on. Since Tor is a global effort,
we decided to avoid explicit prizes and instead give an EFF Tor T-shirt
for each submission.
 
Of course, the winning entries will likely be the subject of a slashdot
article and other press, so this 'glory of victory' is not totally
without its benefits. :)
 
Hope that helps. Feel free to post this as a comment / addendum / etc
if you like.
