Hum?  Did they drop out all of the software under other licenses?  If
they did, then you wouldn't have GNOME (much of it under the LGPL, which
is not the GPL), Apache (which has its own non-GPL license), Perl or
Python (with still other licenses), XFree86 (licensed under a variation
of the BSD license).

I wasn't aware that there was any Linux distribution that could strip
out all of the non-GPLed components so as to be able to be called "fully
GPL."
