The two live CD's I've used come with information on how to customize 
them.  If all of the software on the CD is open source, chances are the 
CD is too.

Knoppix customization:

Timos Rescue CD:

I built a Timos Rescue CD back in 2001.  It gives you a Debian 
filesystem tree that you can easily install your own packages into using 
Debian tools, and then you run some scripts to build the CD image.

I've never tried customizing Knoppix.
