No. You want to sell your product. You do not want to sell the *nix OS.

What kind of *nix OS is to be used is completly part of your customers responsibility.

You don't have to care. Your products requirement is a *nix OS so it does run with any *nix OS. So if it does not run with Tom's rtbt or any version of the *nixes found on distrowatch.com it's a warranty case and you need to fix your product.
