How about having a donation box. Debian is a registered charity after all. With a suggested donation of a couple of dollars? I appreciate that this might be against the freebie policy, but would serve three purposes: a) disuade people who just pick it up because it's a freebie b) recoup some of the costs c) have more CDs left for the needy [1](because of a) [1] those still on bo or rex.
