Thats a good example. If someone were to stick *all* of FG onto CD / DVDs and sell it, there is added value in terms of the bandwidth saved (What is FG now? 12GB or more inc scenery?) Of course, anyone doing so would need to make clear that FG is GPL software and freely available on-line. This is rather like the Open-Office.org resellers guidline policy. Whether it would even be profitable or wothwhile to do such a thing is another matter; it must surely be a shrinking market with the uptake of broadband.
