+MultiTech mLinux is a software build system and custom Linux distribution.  
+It is your responsibility to review each license of the contained products 
+to understand what is, and what is not, allowed by each such license.
+
+The OpenEmbedded-Core common-licenses directory 'layers/openembedded-core/meta/files/common-licenses/' 
+contains licenses represented within this distribution. To the extent a license 
+is not contained in the 'common-licenses' directory, it is referenced in the 
+software and remains your responsibility to review.
+
+Different components of OpenEmbedded-Core are under different licenses (a mix
+of MIT and GPLv2). Please see:
+
+layers/openembedded-core/meta/COPYING.GPLv2 (GPLv2)
+layers/openembedded-core/meta/COPYING.MIT (MIT)
+
+For licensing information for other layers, see the files included with 
+that particular layer in the layers subdirectory.
