looks like I misread it. They don't do the boxed product but will do an
air drop of CDs.
"Donations will be fulfilled using Microsoft Open Licensing. This means
that boxed (full packaged) products and paper licences will not be
shipped to organisations through this programme. Instead, an e-mail will
arrive with an authorisation number for approved requests and directions
to go to a Microsoft Web page to download licensing agreements. Software
media (CDs) will be sent directly from Microsoft via air mail."

I don't think they get a financial kickback either. I expect there are
people working hard at CTX for little or no money.
