Worse than that. The `collection' as an ISO image cannot be sold
or redistributed.
Take a stack of GPLed programs, combine them with one of their
own non-GPLed programs and make the whole non-redistributable?
I'd be inclined to look through it for some of my code and demand
that they remove it from their ISO image.
