8 Ed,

10 It maybe worth the effort to ask your questions to other embedded lists
11 too, as my reading of all of these responses, makes me wonder, has not
12 someone else already discovered and publish a list at some point in time.
13
14 For example maybe at Linux From Scratch they advise on what softwares
15 and codes to use, depending on what you are building up. Or maybe
16 open embedded ?
17
18 It just seems like this question should be solved and already documented
19 somewhere? With dozens (hundreds) of commercial linux distros, surely
20 they list licenses for codes they include therein?
21
22 Maybe some research on what google has published on the licenses it
23 encounters via the Android packages? Some of the BSD embedded
24 projects might also be a good source of information.
