For example, the linux kernel itself is GPLv2 [1]. The C library, musl is MIT[2], apk-tools is GPLv2, busybox is GPLv2. apk and busybox will also link to zlib which is ZLIB license[3]. apk also links to libressl which uses the OpenSSL license[4]. We have many packages in our main and community repository which uses a big variation of licences, so if you consider those packages to be a part of "Alpine Linux", you'll get a much longer list of licenses. You can get an exact list of licenses you are using with this command: apk info | xargs apk info -q --license I hope that helps. -nc -- 1: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.en.html 2: https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT 3: http://zlib.net/zlib_license.html 4: https://github.com/libressl/libressl/blob/master/src/LICENSE --- Unsubscribe: alpine-user+unsubscribe@lists.alpinelinux.org Help: alpine-user+help@lists.alpinelinux.org ---
