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.
