If the > answer is yes, what should I do before using it for commercial purpose? Yocto is used in scores of a great variety of commercial products out there, which is facilitated by the broad MIT license the framework is released under. There is nothing special you have to do to use it commercially. When you ship your product, you will need, of course, to comply with the licenses of the software packages that your device uses. Yocto is set up to facilitate this, see http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/mega-manual/mega-manual.html#maintaining-open-source-license-compliance-during-your-products-lifecycle.
