Not as far as I know ... IIRC it's part of the DFSG that there can't be any
restrictions on distribution, so I'd be intrigued to know how such a policy
can be justified. If it exists, which I doubt.
Of course, there only exist *official* CDs for official releases, and hamm
isn't one of those; these CDs aren't labelled `official,' though.

I got mine from CS Software; I can't remember the URL right now, I'm afraid.
It's linked from <http://www.debian.org/> somewhere, though.

Not if it doesn't exist ...

Or ones without a net connection that doesn't involve piles of floppies and a
half-hour drive (apologies for the double negative!), or without a net
connection at all, or who have to pay for net access (which also applies to me
):.
FYI, the discs I have are labelled `developer's snapshot'.
