TUX is fine licence-wise as far as I know (it's GPLed), although
packaging it would be major fun with kernel patches and modules. X15
would have to go in non-free at best, as its licence prohibits
commercial redistribution as well as a number of other things [1]. I
contacted Chromium to ask them not to call it "Open Source", and they
posted a clarification to that effect on linux-kernel but haven't
updated their web site accordingly.
