It's not that hardIt's not that hardPosted Mar 7, 2008 17:58 UTC (Fri) by vmole (guest, #111)In reply to: It's not that hard by JoeBuck Parent article: BusyBox settles another lawsuit
FWIW, I used to work for a company that used some GPL and other free software in its product. We found the easiest way to comply was to simply build the tarballs from our CVS and include them on the product CD. The customer thus got the version we were using, including any mods. This, of course, assumes you're not trying to hide the fact that you're using free software.

Instead, we actually ship to our customers a full source tree. One of the targets of the build system takes all of the GPL'd components and emits a nice tarball of the exact source used to build a binary image.
