    <thetext>This is super old and probably involves me at some point.  Putting this comment in to refresh it.

    <thetext>Need to know who would be the expert on this and then I need information from that person. I will add Paul to the already pretty big list.  Hopefully someone can tell me who to work with.

    <thetext>Scott, this was assigned to me as I&apos;ve been tasked with collating the right information. It&apos;s going to take some research for me to do that but I&apos;ll be sure to update in here when I&apos;ve got something you can start to work with.</thetext>

    <thetext>Joshua, 

You are probably even further away from stuff like this right?

    <thetext>I&apos;m afraid so, I can&apos;t see my having time to work on this. I think it would be an exceptionally valuable piece of documentation, but there&apos;s the danger of appearing to provide legal advice.</thetext>

    <thetext>Mark Morton, I&apos;ve taken ownership of this so maybe we can work on it together as a medium priority for 2.8.</thetext>

    <thetext>All things considered, I don&apos;t think we shouldn&apos;t guide people through specific cases. Explaining license compliance in general looks better, and it&apos;s what
https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev-manual/licenses.html#maintaining-open-source-license-compliance-during-your-product-s-lifecycle is trying to do.

Anything missing in this section?
I find it quite exhaustive.

Closing this bug.
Don&apos;t hesitate to comment and re-open if you disagree.</thetext>
