I thought about using Jetty for that. It's free and it's possible to use it as a read only server. Creating a exe (autostart) should be quite easy with JEXE. As it's all Java (except that autostart exe for Windows) it should be very easy to distribute.

Don't know - I do not distribute and I'm not a lawyer. Assuming that all software included either apache-style license, or Sun's JDK license (Binary Code License Agreement), or Resin license (free for non-commercial use), I'm quite sure that there is no reason to have a license issue unless you sell these CDs. Here is excerpt from Sun's license: ----------------------------------- 2. License to Distribute Software.
