It is mainly about what you advocate open source or free software.
I see no problem in calling your project a free software advocating
project and providing binaries that only carry "mainly" free software.
You don't licence anything, you just distribute things that come with
their own licences that explicitly allow you to do so. Whether you do
that by criteria like "Software that has nice icons" or "Software that
lets you taste freedom in computing" is of no importance.
Imho it is freedom for users and not openness of code that need to be
advocated.
