Hmm. Cannot see it there? I only see that you want to talk about a
WebShop. This is not what Greg and I were talking about. It was about
whether to provide a real free media program or not. And I used the Red
Hat EMEA Cool Stuff Store offering as an example for how cheap it could
be to produce and offer the DVDs.

Such a program could be funded by Red Hat (according to Greg this is not
probable) or just by other willing parties.
