[http://live.gnome.org/GnomeLiveCd Gnome] has one. So does [http://mono-live.com Mono]. Why not CC?  A successful completion of this challenge would produce an ISO image for a bootable system that would be filled with CC licensed content and whatever the state-of-the-art in CC enabled applications is at that time.  You might base it on Knoppix, Ubuntu's Live CD, or roll your own.

http://www.worldlabel.com will sponsor a Library CD mailing to 5000 to 8000 libraries as an initial test. We strongly believe that Libraries are a great way to plant seeds in the community to help Free Software to become popular. This project will bring more awareness to Open Source and help under funded Libraries save money so they can buy more books. The project will consist:

LiveContent can be delivered in a variety of ways, such as through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LiveDistro LiveDistros].
