Dear All,
We are as Airbus DS CyberSecurity running projects with the aim of
introducing some cyber security products mainly for defence and ICS
industry.
We want to use Linux OS in our products (hardware, software or even
service) and therefore we are in the process of getting FOSS (Free Open
Source Software) clearance for those products. The product will be
commercial and distributed to the customers in a hardware box with
following conditions:
1. *No visibility of OS and Trademark*: The product will be a
hardware box and the OS will never we visible to the end user even in
the documentation. We do not (normal use) expect any customer to
interface with the product OS in any manner. In conjunction with
this, we do not aim at using/displaying the trademark of the OS in any
form.
2. *No Source Code Change:*The software running on the box is
developed from scratch with some shared libraries. The licensing for
those libraries is currently handled separately. But, practically, we
do not change any source code of another software or OS component.
3. *OS changes*: We mainly change the network configuration,
syslog configuration, OS startup configuration, security hardening
(based on the recommendations of the to be used OS distribution) and add
some folders and new files for our purpose under /opt and /etc.
4. *Custom Repository*: We strictly differentiate between our own
packages and Linux OS packages. So, we will provide a custom repository
for own packages. OS updates and any other updates would be retrieved
from one of the distribution repositories.
SL 7.3 release notes given below
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/7x/x86_64/os/sl-release-notes.html#_packages_removed_from_upstream
* *
states “/There is a new Scientific Linux End User License Agreement
(EULA). The EULA now contains information about the U.S. Government
contract under which Fermilab produces Scientific Linux/”.
And the EULA allows
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/7x/x86_64/os/EULA
redistribution and commercial usage so long as GPL v2 is satisfied.
We would be glad to use SL 7.3 as our choice of Linux OS but we need on
our side to assure that this will not change in the upcoming releases or
at least this EULA will be valid for all 7.x releases. What are your
comments on this? Is there a communication partner by Fermi Lab that
could assist us in this manner?
Thanks
