I agree that this is a good idea in general. However, imho, we should
not sell CDs that have been sponsored by third-party people / companies.
This would just be wrong, imho. What we have done in the past, though
(e.g. LinuxTag), is to ask people for a donation when taking a CD (in
that case). From my experience, people who do not really want a CD are
usually "frightened away" by that.

Sounds like a nice idea to me.

Cheers,
