OE is 'merely' a buildsystem (something like gentoos portage or GNOMEs  
jhbuild) and its metadata is MIT licensed.

I'm unsure what is needed beyond the COPYING.MIT in topdir of the  
repository. The licensing of your buildsystem should have no bearing  
on the resulting distribution.

As a buildsystem OE has relationships with the interpreter used  
(bitbake, hosted at berlios) and it's users (angstrom, nslu2-linux,  
openmoko, etc).

I suspect you are confusing OE with a distribution (which angstrom  
is), it is not a distro, it's a distro builder :) If you aren't  
confusing it, please elaborate on what you want to know so we can send  
the doc team to fix it.

Koen
