How is the most practical way to deal with the situation? For people buildi= ng OE images for machines with these devices it seems clear. But if you do not sp= read full images, but have an archive of packages.=20 Lets say the Alpine linux distribution. The License terms have in 2.3(b): "(b) to copy and distribute as needed, solely in connection with an Authorized System and for use in combination with a NXP Product," If I read it correctly, the firmware cannot life in such a repository, since the repository is used by different machines. Is my interpretation correct? So would a downloader in a post-install hook be an alternative? Regards, Andreas
