   It depends on what you want to do and how you want to distribute it.   
      
   Many appliances use a Linux firmware with propietary extensions and they do   
   fine. Keep in mind that if you use modified components of Linux or its userland   
   you may be required to release the source code.   
      
   You'd get helpful answers if you told us what the product is.
