I wonder how much of our documentation they will ship. Everything but the
Packaging Guide is CC-By-SA 2.5 which isn't DFSG-free. I'm not sure what
Gobuntu's stance would be but it might be interesting. I have a feeling
they will be missing a whole lot of documentation, gcc, emacs, texlive,
etc. which is sad.

I don't think that's something we can presume. Many people, I imagine, will
start with Gobuntu and then add on from there. It's something that will
have to be decided. The big question for Gobuntu is going to be, "What is
free?"
