For free would suffice, however. The problem, though, is the requirement
for ME to distribute the source - even if it is unchanged from the copy on
ftp.*.kernel.org, *I* must provide it myself. Distributing the binaries is
a lot less resource intensive (i.e. expensive) than the source. I can fit
a bootable kernel image on a single floppy quite easily; try that with the
kernel source.
