Hi All

As part of my project on OMAP3/Beagle board, I have been exploring the possibility of using the Angstrom as the choice for Linux OS distribution. I have seen a lot of activity on the same on this forum as well.

Could anyone please tell me what the associated licensing model for Angstrom is. Is it GPL or LGPL? I haven’t been able to find out too much about it from the Angstrom website or the previous posts on this group.

Regards

Firstly: Don't start a new thread by using the 'reply' button, your message will get burried in the other thread (the sony bravia on in this case)

Secondly: Angstrom as a whole has no license, every single package *does* have a license. The license is inside the control file of each .ipk file:

koen@dominion:/OE/angstrom-dev/deploy/glibc$ dpkg-deb -I ipk/armv7a/libcairo2_1.8.0-r0.1_armv7a.ipk

Hi All,

We will be starting development on BB.
We are interested in Angstrom Linux. Please help me with the link to
its source tree.
I might want to build the image myself. It will be highly appreciated
if you could lead me to the build procedure of the same.

Thanks a lot!

A good starting point would be BeagleBoardAndOpenEmbeddedGit - eLinux.org
