We press 3000 CD to have a low price (something like 0.5 € / CD with a
simple printed cover) and we sell them to the public (1 €). That helps to
explain the difference betweekn "free as a beer and free as in speech". Of
course, we always have some bad remarks, but trying to explain this is
always good.

We also sell them to French LUG at cost price, which enable them to have
Ubuntu CD with nice cover for less that burning them themselves.

Our only goal is to not lost money on CD, what we can more or less achieve
(true nowdays).
