Debian is free software. You are completely free to choose the price you
find appropriate (for the binaries).

Remember that some of the source code is licensed under the GNU General
Public License. This means, you have some special obligations when
distribution binaries without source accompanied (such as GPL version 2,
clause 3b).

Debian is free software. You are completely free to choose the media you
find appripriate.

wrt/ labeling the discs, it's usually done by writing the official disk
label on it. You can find the label of the respective disk in
/.disk/label on each of them.
