Im really not interested in playing some kind of game with the freebsd 
project. When I said 10% of the profits, I meant 10% of the profits from each 
sale. The donation would be more like $0.45 - $0.75 (for the 3 cd set).

I'll agree it isnt much, and it probably wont amount to much (especially when 
compared to what the freebsd mall has given), but atleast its something. I 
dont know of any competitors of mine (who are selling cheap cds) who donate 
anything at all.

If someone can afford to buy from the freebsd mall, I encorage them to do 
so... but if someone doesnt want to spend $40+ (for whatever reason), then 
why not buy it from us?

Lastly, I know I cross posted, and I apologize.
