+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.
