Hey, we would like to know if NXP Debian can be pre-installed in our products and shipped to our customers. Is there a fee for this?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Please refer to the following confirmation from the AE team.
NXP Debian release is using LA_OPT_NXP_Software_License, customer can modify device tree, build image and pre-install to the Authorized System with an NXP product, that is free of charge. Customer can check the details in flexbuild/LICENSE_SDK.txt. 2.3 is applied for NXP Debian.
Customer should notice that NXP provides flexbuild script which will download packages and build Debian image. Customer must not violate the license terms of each individual software package if they need to modify the code. For example, any modifications to the kernel code must be made in compliance with the kernel's license, which is GPL-2.0.
Regarding the paid license of video decoding, AFAIK, the packages integrated into NXP Debian don't need to pay. I recommend to ask more details from the information source.

@yipingwang Got it, thank you for your information. Regarding the video decoding fees, our NXP distributor told us they're for H264 and H265 decoding. We understand this is a dedicated fee, but it's not related to NXP Debian. This is a common issue with every operating system.

@yipingwang Thank you for the information.
We can modify the product’s device tree or pre-install software from the Debian repository. Then, we can build an image, pre-install it on the product, and ship it to our customers. The image we create should be free of charge, correct?
In addition, our NXP distributor mentioned that video decoding or related video decoding tools in NXP Debian require a paid license, which is a bit confusing to me.
How can we identify which modifications have been made to NXP Debian, or which tools it is based on, that would require a paid license?
