Anthony,
with a number like 50 CDs they could burn them. And very likely, the
mom-and-pop shop would need to ship even less CDs. Or they would simply put
the source on the CD along with the binary, maybe in a subfolder.

I don't have time to run after every mis-use. I think furthering Open
Source is worth having someone else sell it. But I don't want the sources
to be sold for money.
