The boxed sets are created by distributors that have no financial requirement to contribute to The FreeBSD Project. FreeBSD is Free Software meaning that anybody can take the distribution ISO and press a few thousand copies and start selling it and put whatever image they want on the box. >1.If you do encourage people to purchase the boxed set then I think my idea >will significantly increase sales just from a marketing point of view. You should propose it to some of the CD distributors.
