Summary

FreeBSD hasn't fit on a CD-ROM in a long time,
and nobody we know of is selling FreeBSD DVDs.
This whole page needs TLC, one thing at a time.

Not an English expert, but do we need comma here?

I suspect @ziaee just kept the pre-existing comma.

I'm not sure about saying "cloud marketplaces" specifically though -- not all clouds have something called "marketplace", and in the case of AWS the images are available both via the Marketplace and without going through the Marketplace.

How about "FreeBSD is available to download and in most clouds, free of charge." ?

Good catch.
Btw, I am feeling old... I started with floppy disks and right now we're removing mentions to CD-ROM and DVD :'(
