Indeed, I believe this is the ultimate *win* scenario. When OWASP is so 
valuable to companies that vendors and corporations want the OWASP brand 
on their products and sites. We should be part of /their/ NASCAR logo 
parade justification about why you should trust them!

Indeed, we should have versions of the OWASP top 10 and the guides 
available for Corporations to sell, that have the investing companies 
brand all over it. Maybe they make a tax deductible donation to OWASP 
for 500 'guides' from us and we do a special print run with their brand 
and some extra pages about their company. The company sells or gives 
away the books as marketing or product.
