Yeah Dan got what I was intending.

What I mean is a script that just uses a file that lists packages to
build us a nice big fat ISO. I really doubt it'd be much more than a
pacman --root=foo/, repo-add, and mkisofs.

This way, through human interaction, we can specifically manage any
and all license issues.
