This I agree with. Yes, the consumer will consider this a bargain and, 
as you say below, the hard copy of the manual price will be what sets 
the price.

We would have to estimate the costs of producing this retail box package 
and compare it to other style of projects to really make an assessment.

Re: helpdesk. As it was pointed out to me sometime ago, I don't believe 
that the TDF is allowed to make a profit as it is a non-profit 
organisation. So running a universal helpdesk would not be possible. But 
if the LibO has not been declared a non-profit organisation, perhaps it 
could run such a system.
