Apt-get Shirt

Discontinued Unverified

Last updated 2026-03-15 · Update this page

Discontinued. This listing is kept in OSS.Fund for reference, but the platform no longer appears active.

Apt-get Shirt was a simple merchandise experiment: buy a project-themed shirt and part of the purchase price would be sent to the related open source project. The storefront now appears inactive, but it remains a useful historical example of merchandise as a lightweight community-support mechanism.
