AUR is slick and comes in handy, but still unsure about ArchLinux|ARM -- can I use it on a commercial appliance my company is creating ----> running base archlinux ARM and bunch of MIT licensed libs and where the only proprietary bits are created by my company?
For example Redistributing Debian GNU/Linux in a commercial product have a specific location for private binaries (though rather use archlinux)
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-faq/ch-redistrib.en.htmlMy understanding is that the linux kernel is GPLv2 and most packages are GPLv2 but some are GPLv3 which have the added clause of a strict copyleft. Strict copyleft licenses demand that any changes be released as open source software, whereas limited copyleft licenses only require this in certain cases. We don't want to change the kernel or make OS changes, just base archlinux with our own custom binary but I won't be able to talk my company into making our proprietary software open source unfortunately.
It would be fantastic if we could use archlinux. Any additional details and suggestions would help me out a lot. Thanks.
