When constructing the windows all-in-one installer I've asked myself
the same question and came to the conclusion that:
- the installer logic is GPL'ed (my choice);
- the software packages that are installed carry their own license,
   which the user still needs to honor.

That last bit is identical to somebody constructing their own environment
from scratch from source or the various binary "packages" (zip files).

I encountered Glade installing icons into the "hicolor-icon-theme",
other software does the same, so I've included "hicolor-icon-theme"
in the installer. As noted above, hicolor is nothing more than an empty
directory structure so I've added the Tango icon theme as well (a
personal preference, but nobody has complained yet).

mvg,
Dieter
