licenseoverview for a embedded linux project


Hi,

I need a tool, script or programm that analyze my embedded linux project and list all the packages I used, and the corresponding license, in a file or on my host display. I want to prevent, that I must search for the licenses in the packages.
Im not sure which tool I want to use, because I'm also not sure which processor I want to use. I worked until know only with a iMX-Board and the LTIB tool. But I want to change the processor and probably the tool. I know that there are other tools like Buildroot and OpenEmbeded.
With the iMX-Board and LTIB tool the packages has a file called "COPYING", which comprehends the license of the package. You can also check up the license in the *.spec file of the package. But this will cost a lot of time and I want to prevent it.
So can you tell me how this goes faster whatever which tool you use?

Thanks,
Dominik

I personally use Google for every libraries and open source stack I use in the project in order to find the license.

No, that isn't what I want. I want a tool, script or something else what prevent to search in google for the license of a package. I want a tool, script, ... that makes me an overview of all the needed licenses, so of all used packages, of my project.

I find one solution for my problem. The RPM can help to List all the licenses of the installed packages. But then you had also to use this Manager.
For people who have the same problem, the command to list all packages with license is rpm -qa.
