The $50 CDs are only made for CD manufacturers. They cost about $8/each when I bought the blanks. Blanks cost about $3.50 now. And I use two bubble envelopes - one for each CD. So it's $17 materials, then probably $15 to federal express them. Then the rest is for my hassle (and is donated to the project), as I've got more important things to do than write CDs. It's nice that people are paying $9.95 for CDs where $5 goes to Debian. However, getting good software in people's hands is our first priority, even if it means we get no donation at all.
