What, and make it easy for you? :-)

We (Red Hat) used to have a CD-ROM. We no longer have a CD-ROM, even
though it was profitable. There are other forces acting there, and we
(the cygwin community) really can't coerce companies into shipping
cd-roms.
It's not hard to create a personal cygwin cd. Create an empty
directory. Download setup to it. Run setup from that directory and
do "download from internet". That directory can be burned directly to
cdrom as-is.
It's also not hard to create a cygwin cdrom and sell it. We let
pretty much anyone mirror all the files, and it's easy to comply with
the GNU GPL.
Personally, though, I prefer ftp distribs because we can update things
when it makes sense, rather than waiting until it's economically
feasible.
