I'm sure this has been brought up before, but is there a way to buy
"licenses" without actually getting the CD:s?
The reason I ask is that however much I like to have the CD sets in my
bookshelf, I don't need ten or twenty of them... :-) But I still would like
for my company to pay a fair fee for each system we run OpenBSD on.
What complicates things for us is that the concept of donations isn't very
practical here in Sweden, as a donation isn't regarded as a tax deductible
expense at all, neither for private individuals nor corporations. A pure
donation will in practice be nearly twice as expensive as the price tag
itself would imply.
For us it would be awesome to have the opportunity to order a "multi-server
CD", where I could specify for example a ten-system "license", which
would get
me one CD set for the price of ten, with a good receipt for a perfectly
valid,
deductible business expense. It would be an excellent deal in my book. :-)
(In the meantime, I'll just order the usual CD set with a T-shirt or a
mug or
two and hope for a better way to spend more money later on. :-) )
