From the free software side, there should be very few problems. Linkage might be an issue. If the non-free app links to works licensed under the GNU GPL, there's an exception that allows this *if the two works are not distributed together*, which might make the app legal normally but not on the Live CD.
Where I can find this exception on the GPL? I wasn't aware of such an exception.
But... how can Linspire (for example) build (and sell) a distribution that feature both free and commercial software?
Maybe I have to ask for a written permission to make this live-cd to someone in the Debian team? (who?)
Also, if you recompile things from Debian main to pull in non-free dependencies, that could be a problem. Most apps won't run into these problems, though.
No, that's not my case. Got nothing to recompile. The commercial software has only the following dependencies: libc6, libX11-6, libasound2, libstdc++6, libgcc1, libxau6 and libxdmcp6.
