Subject: Free FreeBSD CD-ROM donations to environmental/non-profit groups?

I was looking at the WWW site of an organization called the
Environmental Support Center (http://www.envsc.org) and one of their
functions is to donate Lotus software and computer equipment (Windoze :-(
to non-profit environmental groups.

What do you think of a program to donate FreeBSD CD-ROMs (because a lot
of small grassroots organizations have no Internet access) to non-profit
groups working on environmental or animal rights issues?

Benefits:
* Promotes FreeBSD
* Gives the groups an advanced, open OS base for their own
networking and computing needs without the extra cost of source licenses,
etc.
* Strengthens the goodwill of Walnut Creek (and FreeBSD Inc.) in the
computing community and the activism community at large.

Any thoughts on this?
