Well, FreeBSD CD packing funding FreeBSD development, that seems right...
Obviously, I only think that it would be dishonest if FreeBSD CD packing
didn't fund FreeBSD development or at least development of a similar project.

That was also what I was talking about when I mentioned $40-50 CD sets of
Linux and FreeBSD sold at corner shops which only fund the CD packer.

I keep my subscription since 1995, even though it's not ecological.
You seem to confirm my belief that the money I pay for my subscription goes
to FreeBSD development. I'm relieved.

I didn't know FreeBSD development was killed.
