What are the legal consequences of customizing the LiveCD?
- by Voulnet
Hello everyone, the organization I work at wants to create a custom Ubuntu LiveCD, the customizations are: Pre-installed programs, plugins, some device drivers, and aesthetics such as icons and backgrounds, as well as changing Firefox's homepage and removing unneeded packages.
Not big changes, obviously, and we wish to distribute this custom image for clients to use as a bootable CD or USB stick in order to have a quick environment where all our tools are available instantly.
What are the licensing and legal consequences of this? What if some of the programs or plugins that are to be pre-packaged are not GPL'd?
I should finally note that we are not changing any code in the kernel or any other distro component.
Thank you for your time!
