I think that any distro that is not completely free (speech) should have a clearly visible and accessible list of what is not OSS, so that any corporate employee that is trying to implement something like this does not suddenly run into trouble when they discover that they indeed cannot use such and such software in that manner. As far as I know, no such list is included or easily findable. I don't believe this poses much of a problem to individual home users, since most of that type of use falls under the legal part of the license, however this could be disastrous for small company that had trusted an employee to get something together, only to realize that this employee over looked a critical license issue, because, as a previous poster noted, this could be disastrous in the future, when Linux is much more widely used in corporate (high license adherence) enviroment.

Just my thoughts on this.
