This is wrong, only a lot of packages are under GPL. But that's all, there
are much more package under other licenses like BSD or even commercial

It is impossible to build a distribution only under GPL, far too many
core packages are not under GPL.

This is not correct, you have to check the licenses of all packages,
you cannot ignore them.
