I have already found a resolution on this, I'll continue with creating an OpenBSD DVD, since I believe the custom-built distro would enable people in my country to reap the benefits of the software, but without using any OBSD artwork.
As for donating to the OBSD project, of course I want to give back to the community where I got the treasure-trove. I just hope it would be the soonest as I hoped. Why leave the resource you reap from lay barren? Thanks!
