Well as previously explained, the BSD license doesn't stop you from burning the OpenBSD ISO n-1 times and selling the CDs for $5 or $50, provided you don't use OpenBSD artwork and the like. If I was selling burnt CDs, I would donate a portion of my profits to the project. I wouldn't, though, because it's better for the project to buy the official disk set - and I don't do things that will diminish good things in the long run. > > But don't take any of what I wrote here as the truth, I am not the final > person to say yes or no on this.
