In case people didn’t notice a small information. According to this video MontaVista has looked into OpenEmbedded and the bitbake task executor. Apparently they liked the idea of cooking a customized rootfs by combining a set of recipes and have adopted this strategy and the tools. They have added extra value by having an easy to use installer, a source mirror and pre-built packages to speed up the engineer.
It is not clear how much and if they have used recipes and classes from OpenEmbedded but in any case we have adopted the MIT License because we want to have the widest use possible. I’m really happy to see this happening and thanks for everyone working on this.
