Hello paul!

Said the one without knowledge of Fidonets common practice to use realnames.
(Or at least something that looks like a real name.)

You may like it or not, from my point of view Alexey is right in all his comments to your question. The raspberry pi was build for makers. The GPL does protect knowledge transfer if code is shared with others. Both is aiming to the "do it yourself" people.

I still recommend a way that will keep yourself out of the OS distribution.

An installer that will fetch all required files from the net would transfer the contract of getting software from you to the official distributor.

The other option is that you include the source of the OS on first delivery by including a CD/DVD/BD.

Regards

Kai
