The important legal aspect in using the Yocto Project is not the tools 
used to build the embedded device images, but the software that is 
included in the embedded device images.

All software packages in the Yocto Project are listed with their 
respective licences. I would suggest you do some reading on Open Source 
licences (GPL, LGPL, BSD etc...) and understand the differences between 
the licensing implications of shipped and non-shipped software.
