Actually that's not true.  You can download all the necessary files to 
create your own "USB flash drive distro" from Mandriva.

What Mandriva doesn't let you do is download the work that they do for free.

For $70, you get a USB key - outpost.com has one for $45.
Then for $25 Mandriva does the work for you to create a compact distro 
that fits on less than 1GB and does what most people need.

For me, the time to create a compact distro on my own would exceed $25 
in value.
