It still should be a "port" so that it is easily found by poking around
in the ports directory.  The distribution can't be on th CDROM, but
the FTP and e-mail back of login info could maybe be handled by the ports
mechanism.

Maybe they can be convinced to change the policy if part of the installation
process encourages the registration, and does it for internet-connected
installs.  The alternative is probably to lose the non-internet customers
(or at least make it a lot tougher for them).
