• [$] A build system aimed at license compliance

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Tue Apr 14 06:40:08 2026
    The OpenWrt One is a
    router powered by the open-source firmware from the OpenWrt project; it was also the
    subject of a keynote at SCALE in 2025
    given by Denver Gingerich of the Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC),
    which played a big role in developing the router. Gingerich returned to
    the conference in
    2026 to talk about the build system used by the OpenWrt One, which is
    focused on creating the needed binaries, naturally, but doing so in a way
    that makes it easy to comply with the licenses of the underlying code.
    That makes good sense for a project of this sort-and for a talk given by
    the director of compliance at SFC.
