Any software with a feature like that, I like the sound of. :-)

Would this include both CDROM and FTP distribution, or only one of the
two?  I sincerely hope both, simply because it takes a lot less
administrative overhead for me to produce CDs when that's the case.

I think so, yes.  Please send me additional details and any legalese
which you're thinking of using for the redistribution terms and I'll
be more than happy to take a look!
