Just posting a sale to ebay costs money. So, I figure they have the cost
of posting to ebay, the commission that ebay takes on the sale, and then
there are the costs to produce and mail. I assume that a regular CD,
postage, and the disc mailer probably cost around $1 or a bit more. If
ebay ends up with $2 to $3, that does not leave a bunch of profit. Kudos
for a lower price for those that do not have an internet connection (but
then why would they be on ebay).

The Apache License does not put any price restriction on distribution.
You can give it away for free, or sell it for 1 million dollars, if
you can find a buyer. Of course, for something freely available for
download, competition will tend drive the price down to a small
increment for the media, shipping and convenience.

I'm unfamiliar with UK postage rates, but 99 cents seems within reason
for a CD/DVD. On the other hand, this one seems a bit overpriced
($4.95):

my understanding is that it is legal to sell open source software if the
charge is for shipping and handling and a small fee for duplicating........
as u can tell the fee is VERY small
