can purchase and as a free download. There are so few people that need to buy the CD's that it is irrelevant to this point.
Buying the CD set and OpenBSD goodies is =very relevant=. Please buy more or at least donate money.
OpenBSD is not making money from selling software. When you buy the CD's you are knowingly doing so to help support the project. You don't *have* to buy them. You can get the software for free. When you buy the CD's you are really buying an idea.
No you buy a case, CD's artwork, printed paper... And there is sofware as a bonus too.
We more or less need the CD's since we develop sotware on a data isle and don't want any connections to the internet ever. When we buy the official release it's very difficult for an attacker to infiltrate the code on the CD set, that's a serious plus.
