I own the rights to the TFP and nobody else.

Hmmmm.... I agree that someone trying to make a profit off the TFP is fucked up and wrong, but this statement scares me a little. I've always thought of the TFP as belonging to everyone that contributes to it. Afterall, there wouldn't be much of anything here if people didn't add to it every day. It's kind of like the Linux operating system, in my mind. Everyone is welcome to contribute, and the "steering committee" makes sure contributions abide by the rules, and the end product is freely available to everyone that contributes... and no one, no matter how much they contribute is allowed to resell that. But since the TFP is your conception, I don't think anyone would argue against you selling TFP merchandise, especailly if the proceedes from sales go toward upgrading hardware, or otherwise making this place better.
However, when you say you own the rights to the TFP, do you mean to say that you own the rights to everything that gets posted here too? Does everything we post become your property? How much ownership, if any, do contributers have here?
