You are most welcome. What u see on Bitcoin today has been built by so many people contributing their time & skill set for free. So many people have even spent time on this forum explaining bitcoin to new people. It is sad, that most of the people today only think about getting bitcoin cheap as if it is a product of private company, rather than holding some bitcoin and then contributing positively to collectively raise its value.

But does this mean you can modify it and sell it for profits like t-shirt or whatever?

Yeah, it was made in 2010, and updated in 2014 (minor). Free as in speech, free as in beer.

Lucky Karpeless didn't manage to change it.  As you remember there was a rumor that Bitcoin logo might get copyrighted.  It was nonsense from the beginning and the rumor stops soon after.

Is that where Casascius got the image for the heads side of his coins (or is the tails side)?

Yeah I suggest printing it over fiat money to create a cool advert for all to see.
