Million-Dollar Software Donations

How can software that would have never been stamped on CD and sold be worth any more than the cost to produce it? I cringe when I read "Company X donates milllions of dollars of product Y". Sure the donation is great, but it couldn't have cost them any more than a buck a disk to stamp, probably much less when they are stamping hundreds of thousands of discs. IANAA*, but I would guess the tax benefits probably pay for the cost of production/distribution. Maybe they even make a profit. Not a bad deal, eh?
