Hello,
Can I do a
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=obsd.iso
and redistribute it ?
(the audio track is away)
Please don't, it's one of the few sources of income the project has.
As to legality, search the archives - this question is not exactly new.

Also the CDROM distribution is protected by Copyright as indicated here:
---- http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq3.html#ISO ----
The OpenBSD project does not make the ISO images used to master the
official CDs available for download. The reason is simply that we would
like you to buy the CD sets to help fund ongoing OpenBSD development.
The official OpenBSD CD-ROM layout is copyright Theo de Raadt. Theo does
not permit people to redistribute images of the official OpenBSD CDs. As
an incentive for people to buy the CD set, some extras are included in
the package as well (artwork, stickers etc).

I would suspect Theo would NOT let slide such blatant abuse.
