If people are willing to pay, why is it stupid?  If you can charge
less without losing money, why aren't you?

Walnut Creek sells DJGPP for $40.  The FSF sells it for, I think
$100-$500 (consider it a "donation" to them).  *I* couldn't sell it
for less than $40, just because it takes so much time to do it.  How
much is your time worth?  Will part of the proceeds be used to further
the DJGPP project itself?

DJGPP is neither shareware not public domain.  It is GPL.  There is a
section in the FAQ about guildelines for redistributing it.  Please
read and follow it.
