That might be but the difference is quite huge imho. I'm used to pay
50 euro including vat and a lot of neat documentation about soekris
and other embedded things which i doubt i'll get with this. I'd rather
download and donate the money but i'd like to have a neat set also.
At least some of the german sites offer a box to donate, in NL it's a
guess but i think there's no donation.
