Personally I think that defeats the purpose of having an open source 100%
Free Operating System. At the fedora project we provide free disks as part
of our Free Media Program. All anyone has to do is ask

You're welcome to your opinion, but you have to keep in mind a couple of
things:

1) The Free Media Program is under-resourced, and a voluntary effort.
2) This is hardly the first instance of someone selling physical media
of Free/Open Source software.

Keiran:

I am not aware of people not being able to make money off of open source. While Fedora
gives away media there are additional services that a disk burning service can provide.

1)  Custom burns that include all the patches to-date for that distro
2)  Faster delivery than the distro's free ordering process

While most will choose to download the .iso themselves, these services help those with
meetered connections or those that are still on dial-up.

I truly do not see the conflict with FOSS and companies making money from it.

Selling Fedora Media at a price is perfectly fine and don't have any
conflict with freemedia.
