I'll see what I can do :)

I've already written that I use OpenEmbedded as a build system, and 
included the MIT license. I also used create_manifest.sh from Arago to 
get a list of everything included in the rootfs. What I really wonder is 
if I must add all that information as well.

I hereby guarantee that I won't take any answers as legal binding advice ;)
