Hmmm. You seem to not distinguish between free and free. I personally do
not care about things that are free (as in free beer) and their license
prohibits me to change them. Such work is useless for me and also for OOo.

I do not like many things on your XXX Premium. I even consider it as unfair
to name something as SomethingElse Premium (which in fact is my primary
reason I won't look at it at all).

For very similar example, have a look at

http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=63805

This issue is about including some kind of fonts into OOo. It is
impossible, because these fonts are non-free. But what we could include is
a generic framework for new font sets inclusion. And we can even include
some free (and license compatible!) fontsets into our (I'm working on
OpenOffice.org) product.

This is what I expect from your work on your OOo distribution. Are you
going this way or you simply bundle everything you have/downloaded from all
around the world into it? Such project is useless in my opinion. Providing
framework to include all these extras file into the running product and/or
into the instset is worth the effort. Simple/manual bundling of everything
into it is not.
