Well, as others already pointed out the problem is that it gets soon obsolete 
before you send it off to the one buying it. maybe downloadable ISOs would 
help ?  I mean, in the end it's all for free anyway - it points to the 
growing software problem that everyone takes everything for free. Doing work 
for debian and kde for free is not the problem but the problem is how do I 
buy bread and butter ? :-)  Most importantly how do we offer people a service 
through KDE e.V. that could help the e.V. do its work better ? 

As commercial distros get less and their money shrinks so will their support 
for KDE in terms of employing people fulltime like Waldo. So I'm trying to 
find a way that will possibly lead us to the situation where the KDE project 
can finance itself better and maybe in a the future being able to employ 
developers.
