Tips and tricks for using CUPS for printing with Linux

Hello, interesting question.
The point is not that it would be forbidden to install CUPS or the Apache web server on GNU/Linux. But it could be impossible to ship it by default with the installer of a GNU/Linux distribution in GPL.
However, I am not lawyer, so this is a very interesting question for the OSI of the FSF, about licenses incompatibilities and copyright. I would love to have a detailed answer.
