GNU GPL Compliance in Embedded Devices
|
|
|
|
GNU/Linux is a the most popular choice of an Operating System in many areas
|
|
of Embedded computing. It can be found in embedded networking equipment,
|
|
personal navigation systems, media players, mobile phones to print servers,
|
|
NAS, in-flight entertainment systems and even bicycle ergometers.
|
|
|
|
Using the Linux kernel and other GPL licensed software is a convenient and
|
|
especially inexpensive choice. However, it is still copyrighted software
|
|
subject to a license: The GNU General Public License.
|
|
|
|
The presentation will look at typical GPL violations in the embedded market
|
|
and how they could have easily been avoided by little extra effort in
|
|
product development.
