The website says "/*Now with Asterisk Version 1.0!" which makes me 
wonder how many they have sold. Also makes me wonder if the knoppix part 
is very up to date.

They don't mention licensing/copyright anywhere. We can figure that all 
the software is on the CD is under free licensing but all they have to 
do is add a single readme file with a restricted license or copyright 
and you make identical copies of the CD. I would first try contacting 
them and get those details. You also want to know where the source is 
because there might be some modifications they made to knoppix packages 
or the packages they added.

I think you would be better off to make a knoppix CD, boot it and get * 
installed and running. After that read the following and maybe you can 
create something better to share with the world.
