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.
