[OSM-talk] foundation affiliate revenue

[Thom Shannon]

They just asked if they could have a link to their product somewhere, it 
would probably be worth listing them here anyway since their software is 
genuinely useful:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Making_Tracks_with_Homebrew-ware#Commercial

It could just be a straight link, but since they're offering 10% 
commission (on products starting from £50) I thought it would be a shame 
to turn it down.
