Well, on the footer of the website, it is written that Debian is a
registered trademark of Software in the Public Interest, Inc. So I
assume that it is not granted that anything debian-based can be called
Debian.

I do not think that it costs that much to host your ISOs. I checked on a
french website, and it costs 2 euros per month for 10 Go, and 1 euro
for each 10 more Go. And opening a PayPal account is free. You would
need a small donnation every 10-20 downloads in order not to lose money.
You can even have 600 Go of traffic for 4 euros/month!!

For sure, the experience you had in installing all these programs is
very valuable. Did you have to patch some of them ? Also, you have a
list of software, for which you checked their licence. Do not hesitate
to contribute it on the debian wiki!
