I have to create a license and copyright notice for an embedded device using Raspbian Lite as operating system, running a custom application developed by me. The device is sold as a whole.
I browsed a lot of questions and answers, but I'm still not sure, if I have to include information about ...
a) ... the operating system itself?
b) ... every apt package that was already installed in the stock download?
c) ... every apt package that I installed later?
By "include information" I mean
- Naming the license
- Naming the copyright
- Adding the license text
I'm quite sure that the answer to c) is "yes", but not sure about a) and b) (and if "yes", how to manage this enormous effort).
If it matters: the application only lives in user space and the user has no direct access to operating system resources, he can only interact with my application.
license.manifest
as output by OpenEmbedded. If anyone, a project directly under the Linux foundation probably did it right. It also outputs a directory structure with a directory per package containing 1) original license file 2) the generic version of that license 3) some basic information about the package.
