The link list is far away from "all". 
eg.: libs, kernel, etc. 
The price is not in question. But I think, if one use GPL'd software
commercial, the distributor must make sure that the source is available
to the users, I mean the complete source here.
This stick is a bit more then a bundle of applications were a link to
some project site will suite the requirements of the GPL.
