I WANT NOW

Was searching around today....anyone know if these are legit:

This "Habeeb" person is certainly trying to sell Dwarf Fortress tees, and has the game name as well as the iconic graphic.  I dunno if they're donating the money they make (if any) to Toady, or if Tarn even knows about it.  I'm not sure how much legal ground he has to stand on if this is unlicensed, but it's pretty blatant.

It's not like unicode character 0x263a is copyrighted or anything... but the tags are obviously meant to advertise it as a DF tee. A little sleazy if he's not passing the proceeds on, but nothing illegal.

That's what  I meant; I know the character isn't legally Tarn's, but I didn't know if advertising it SPECIFICALLY as a DF tee was kosher or not.  Probably murky ground (and a simple name-change in the store would resolve that, since the shirt itself bears no reference to DF beyond the public domain image).  I just more wanted to bring it to the community's attention to see if anyone had heard of this person and whether or not they were helping Tarn, and to warn fans away if this person isn't.  I'm sure we'd all rather support an endeavor that doesn't allow someone else to profit off Tarn's hard work.

This is message board post. In the post is written a message. The message says "I really want cool DF merchandise". The post is written in the Roman alphabet with flourishes of smilies. It menaces with tears.
