1 2 The system/ directory is intended for pieces of the world that are the 3 core of the embedded linux platform at the heart of Android. These 4 essential bits are required for basic booting, operation, and debugging. 5 6 They should not depend on libraries outside of system/... (some of them 7 do currently -- they need to be updated or changed) and they should not 8 be required for the simulator build. 9 10 The license for all these pieces should be clean (Apache2, BSD, or MIT). 11 12 Currently system/bluetooth/... and system/extra/... have some pieces 13 with GPL/LGPL licensed code. 14 15 Assorted Issues: 16 17 - pppd depends on libutils for logging 18 - pppd depends on libcrypt/libcrypto 19 - init, linker, debuggerd, toolbox, usbd depend on libcutils 20 - should probably rename bionic to libc 21
