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. :-) ) Regards, /Benny -- internetlabbet.se / work: +46 8 551 124 80 / "Words must Benny Lvfgren / mobile: +46 70 718 11 90 / be weighed, / fax: +46 8 551 124 89 / not counted." / email: benny -at- internetlabbet.se
