I think you or I are getting mixed on details. Yocto Project, recipes, layers, and BitBake are just tools to accomplish the build of your device. YP licences won't apply at the end. Only the cumulative licence of all the software that you selected (by way of the layers) does and the YP tools will create the BOM for you to analyse. This is where this licence you're referring to comes into play. So it doesn't matter how you built and deployed your Qt Commercial onto the device, only that you did. Does that licence allow you to ship your device? Does it require payment of per-unit royalties? Does it put extra requirements on what you can or can't do? I can't answer that, since I don't know the terms. You should get your legal department to make a decision. Qt Company's opinion is an input, not a conclusion. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Cloud Software Architect - Intel DCAI Cloud Engineering
