Wouldn't it be cool to be able to append a teeny little kickstart
postscript, and then end up with a livecd or system that has GE
installed for all users?

http://packages.debian.org/etch/googleearth-package

It doesn't have an open source license so can't be included in Fedora
of course. Which makes it OT for this list IMO.

I suspect this is a point you understand, but for the sake of clarity I'll highlight-

The "googleearth-package" package/.deb/[theoretical .rpm], absolutely DOES have an open source license.

What the _tool_ that it _provides_, does, is to generate a non-open-source rpm from a simple commandline invocation and network access.

Please, it's fine if you don't want to be the one to do this, but from a legal and open-source perspective, I think that googleearth-package*.[s]rpm belongs in fedora just as much as the current .deb belongs in debian.
