Licensing shouldn't be that expensive, I guess ....

I doubt it. The media alone costs $8 or so (for CD-WO, real CD-ROM does
not pay for small volume), and on top of that is what a company charges
you for writing them. I doubt it'll be just in the $5 range. If we can
sell 100 CDs, it _might_ just drop to say $15 or so per CD ... that
would be well under $50.
