 I have done since the beginning - the funny thing was that noone in the US
could understand my idea of a 'shareware CD-ROM'. I wanted to release a CD for 
a low price and ask the honest user to donate a small amount which could 
then send to the core team (in my case to the Amiga team at least, as my CD is 
mainly intended for the Amiga market). Now I release the CD anyway, still for 
a low price (DM 19.80 or about US$ 14), but not as a shareware-CD. This way 
noone can object that I am actually gaining much money from NetBSD.

 I would be glad to provide a pointer to a way how to donate to the 
NetBSD project...
