Certainly, but the MOST important point is redistribution.  We surely
do not want people to be making money by re-distributing (selling) our
work...  Again, I am not a lawyer and I don't know all the various fine
points about this, so please don't take my word for it, read our basic
copyright if you have doubts/questions.

Huh?  What means "that's not content of your copyright"?  I am told that
re-distribution is THE point.  It may be that your ports folks feel
that your CD-ROM is a method of re-distribution (I ceratinly would).
