  Actually since CSRG already has the tape ordering and distribution
setup, cutting another tape is not a hassle.  And, as I said before, the
distribution fees are used to fund phone/email 4BSD support.  I think
that CSRG would prefer you to get the distribution from them.  If
everyone were to get free copies from their neighbors, CSRG couldn't
afford to offer 4BSD support.
