Subject: Custom platform for commercial device

Message-ID: <50213ABE.6070305@gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
I have license related questions :
1) if I create and sell a device which is a fork of an existing
platform, should I have to publish code of this new platform and/or give
the code to customer if he asks it ?
2) Should I have to mention that my device is powered by Linux kernel ?
For a PC software, the GPL must be displayed at installation time but
for embedded devices (ie. if a closed source software is used to send
new kernel to the device) ?
3) Can I send patches to this list to add this new platform to be able
maintain it more easily when kernel change implementation of some drivers ?
Thank you for these informations.
Best regards,
Ga?tan Carlier.
