What about a non-oss DVD or a non-oss repo on BD? I believe a complete set of packages will be of high value either for installing or working offline. Although apt supports offline software retrieval it can be very arduous to transport every desired piece of software with sth. like an USB stick to the destination especially for a computer out of reach of a direct internet connection. I believe the sense of a BD or a DVD set is in having such a complete set of software handy everywhere. Although we do normally suffice with oss, non-oss can as well be essential f.i. for the graphics driver or device firmware. Moreover the contrib section does not really make sense without non-oss.
