Yes. You decide what you think is a fair price, and go for it.

You would normally burn the CDs yourself. That allows you to customize the 
contents to suit your target market. We don't actually supply a CD, however 
we do have a standard ISO image available for download. It may usually be 
found on your favourite OpenOffice.org mirror under the </contrib/iso/en> 
directory. Note though that not all mirror sites carry the <contrib> 
directory.

The ISO is updated when new releases occur, and will usually be available on 
the mirror network within a week. I normally announce the new ISO on this 
(and several other) lists.

Since the 2.0 release will use native installers, I won't be able to use my 
usual method of reducing the size, so there will end up being either 2 CD 
images or a single DVD image, possibly both (depending on disk space on the 
mirrors). 

Note to distributors generally - your thoughts on which way to go would be 
appreciated.
