1Most of the packages that were used by Buildroot to produce the image files,
2including Buildroot itself, have open-source licenses. It is your
3responsibility to comply to the requirements of these licenses.
4To make this easier for you, Buildroot collected in this directory some
5material you may need to get it done.
6
7This material is composed of the following items.
8 * The scripts used to control compilation of the packages and the generation
9   of image files, i.e. the Buildroot sources.
10   Note: this has not been saved due to technical limitations, you must
11   collect it manually.
12 * The Buildroot configuration file; this has been saved in buildroot.config.
13 * The toolchain (cross-compiler and related tools) used to generate all the
14   compiled programs.
15   Note: this may have not been saved due to technical limitations, you may
16   need to collect it manually.
17 * The original source code for target packages in the 'sources/'
18   subdirectory and for host packages in the 'host-sources/' subdirectory
19   (except for the non-redistributable packages, which have not been
20   saved). Patches that were applied are also saved, along with a file
21   named 'series' that lists the patches in the order they were
22   applied. Patches are under the same license as the files that they
23   modify in the original package.
24   Note: Buildroot applies additional patches to Libtool scripts of
25   autotools-based packages. These patches can be found under
26   support/libtool in the Buildroot source and, due to technical
27   limitations, are not saved with the package sources. You may need
28   to collect them manually.
29 * Two manifest files listing the configured packages and related
30   information: 'manifest.csv' for target packages and 'host-manifest.csv'
31   for host packages.
32 * The license text of the packages, in the 'licenses/' and
33   'host-licenses/' subdirectories for target and host packages
34   respectively.
