While I like the idea, and I think that there is a profitable model to
be found within our community for this sort of thing, especially if
part of the profit is earmarked for the Haiku project, I do not think
that Haiku Inc. should become involved with such a thing. Besides the
hurdles of setting up the machine, the sales channel and what not,
there is also the thing that Haiku Inc. should not take any risks.
This is something you cannot avoid when you are basically acting like
a company.
