I have seen that some companies distribute/sell PD software/shareware
at a price ranging from $3 to $10 for a 400K disk. I thought that the rule
was that you can charge only to cover your cost and postage.
Most users group charge very low price of 50 cents to $1 per disk.
I think if they charge $3 a disk they are making profits and with $10/disk
they have a great profit margin. My question to the net is:

Is this legal?
