I understand your point, but this is related to media inclusion, not
to actual ISO contents, neither to how we structure the name used for
humans, and for file names (there's no notion of whether we have 100%
free sofftware or not so far in the nomenclature, just DVD, LiveCD and
regular CD).

Of course, this can still change, but for the sake of simplicity (and
of our own sanity), I don't expect us to ship 2 distinct sets (pure
free, and nonfree) of DVD and LiveCD, as that would make 8 images at a
minimum.

I need one for beta1 already and the proposed one is pretty generic
(we don't go for "One", "Free", "Powerpack" names for instance, we
just use an optional "flavour" attribute).
