If your distro is to be GPL-licensed, does that mean that you want
your components to be GPL too? If so, the number of components you can
select is reduced drastically.

I'd like a distro with a good IDE, GUI toolkit (PyGTK for example),
Django and PyGame. Something you could point a newbie to and they
would be able to create "real" applications with, without needing to
download hundreds of dependencies.
