Dear All,

Can anyone clarify my following concern on fedora 14?

Following are the steps we are planning to do with Fedora 14.

Please let us know if any of the steps mentioned below cost customer(Say 
Company 'A') to pay Fedora 14.

1. Dowload Fedora 14  source code
2. Install the same  in a Dell Latitude E6410 Laptop
3. Customize the source code of Fedora 14
        This step includes:
            a) Removal of unwanted packages (from product point of view) 
of  Fedora 14
                     Example: X11, some bin utils etc.
            b) Change the configuration of the Linux kernel
                        Please note: Not the source code modification
            c) Add product specific custom drivers
4. Compile the customized source code to create an image(Kernel + 
product specific application) .
5. Flash this image to N number of devices
6. Sell these devices to the world wide consumers

Following are our concerns in using Fedora 14  server for the product:
1) Whether Company 'A' would need a license to redistribute the above 
mentioned image inside a device?
    1.1) What is cost of license in case a license fee exists?
    1.2)  If license fee exists, whether it will vary according to the 
number of standard packages of Fedora 14 incorporated in this image?
2) Whether there would be  any royalty per shipped system that 
incorporates this image ?
     2.1) If royalty exists, which assets owned by Fedora 14 is causing it.
     Example: Kernel patches developed by Fedora 14, Supporting packages 
etc.

Regards,
ShibuThomas
