Have you taken a look at some of these licenses recently? Not all of non-free
can be put on a CD, period. Parts of it (ghostscript-aladdin) can't be put
on the CD with other parts of it. Distribution of large parts of non-free
by any means besides non-profit electronic means big trouble, and the official
Debian CD must allow for-profit CD distribution at the least.
