Is this "Networks" company breaking any CopyLeft rules on reasonable
redistribution costs??
Probably not. Advertising is expensive. I imagine that the FSF is willing
to let the free market define "reasonable". After all, if the Networks
company is bringing in a profit after paying media expenses, equipment
depreciation, salaries, etc, then another company could do it by shaving
expenses here or there or whever.
If no one else can do it for less, then their prices are probably reasonable.
