	On this issue, I would think that the core *shouldn't* object.
Besides the issue of the BSD copyright, this kind of thing is going on
all the time (with various commercial vendors).  Anyways, the just of
my offer is that Walnut creek might not be interested in pressing a CD
with sparc binaries on it.

	I, for one, won't do a price war.  I am not trying to make
scads of money.  I'm not even trying to recover the cost of the writer
(it's not mine).  I figure that offering a media warrenty on the CD's
would make it prudent to charge what I do.

	Then again, while I provide news and mail for a number of
people, I'm not about to jump into the ISP business, either.

Dave.
