or a add-on CD with the Non-OSS, leaving the DVD only with open software.

: OSS PDF readers simply cannot read complex PDFs, where different pages have different sizes, etc... Many e-books use this PDF feature. Acrobat Reader is a must.
What is possible is to have 1 medias: 1 DVD for normal users and 1 DVD for Free Software geeks.
The 1 DVD for normal users should also have MPEG4/MP3 codecs preinstalled. Mandriva does that. Do they have for that piece an EULA which allows redistribtution?

Just a friendly reminder to bottom-post, not top-post if you can. :-) Gets hard for us to jump up and down throughout the text.
Anyway, a separate CD sounds easier at first, but I fear it would cause much confusion. As I pointed out earlier, many users out there, particularly new users, don't fully grasp the concept of free software and proprietary software. THey just want something that works. They would possibly be frustrated with having to have two separate media to download and install. +1
On the other hand, those that do know and understand the distinction would react more favorably to having the option to not allow the installation of NON-OSS.
