I can answer that one.
$10 a CD isn't a profit.  No one will have made any profit at all.
except the end user of the apps.  $10 a CD when burning them with
a Standard CD-R won't make any money at all.   Only way to make
money is to Mass produce them.  At that point the price can drop
along with the cost to prevent profit.

When I say Mass produce.  that means. You create a CD.  Take it
to a CD company that mass produces and have a 100 or so made.
The cost is very low because they don't BURN the CD's.  They
stamp them like LP records.
