PCLinuxOS Legal:

Can I distribute a remastered version of PCLinuxOS?

If you have remastered PCLinuxOS in accordance to the remastering guidelines and wish to freely make it available to the public, you have permission for redistribution. You may not use PCLinuxOS or PCLOS in the naming of your remastered ISO unless you are part of the Community Editions team and your ISO has been reviewed  and approved by us. Current Community Editions approved are PCLinuxOS-LXDE and PCLinuxOS-LXDE-mini

If your remaster is not in accordance with the remastering guidelines, you may not redistribute your modified version of PCLinuxOS unless all registered trademarks, brands, names and logos referring to PCLinuxOS are removed.

This includes, for instance, the use of the word "PCLinuxOS", "PCLOS" and logos. This is required to protect PCLinuxOS and to avoid creating confusion for our users and support team.

If you are selling a remastered version of PCLinuxOS in a commercial environment, you may not redistribute your modified version of PCLinuxOS unless all registered trademarks, brands, names and logos referring to PCLinuxOS are removed.

This includes, for instance, the use of the word "PCLinuxOS", "PCLOS" and logos. This is required to protect PCLinuxOS and to avoid creating confusion for our users and support team.

In addition non-gpl code may need permission from 3rd party vendors for redistribution.
