Hi Darwin,

         Thanks for the details. Can we charge for the proprietary software bundled with debian OS which we install in that laptop ?

Regards,

Kamal

Hi Debian Team,

         I'm Kamalakannan from Zoho Corporation Pvt Ltd. We build cloud apps and we have a plan to bundle our application in a laptop with debian OS and sell it to custmers with our product bundle over debian OS. 

We want to know whether it is allowed as per debian's policy or not. Is there any license we need to purchase to sell our product with debian OS installed laptops ?

Hello,

Yes indeed. You can redistribute Debian software.  I dont think you can charge for the os itself, but you can charge for the laptops for sure. It is free software after all.

PS: Follow the license, it depends on your country of origin
