   Small suggestion - look at any hardware you own that uses Linux or Android as   
   the base os such as a smart TV or a phone.   
      
   Now the manufacturer has to supply the source code on request and as I have a   
   Samsung (S10 phone) and a Philips TV I went to their sites and downloaded the   
   sources.   
      
      
   Admittedly it took a bit of effort to find but I did.   
      
      
   So, providing you stick to the copyright rules for Open Source systems you    
   will   
   not go wrong and you do not need to supply the source code with the product    
   but   
   have a findable area on your support website that allows users to download it.   
      
   This aoolies to any code changes you made to original code for any    
   application,   
   driver, system module etc.   
      
   The likely hood of many wanting such is very low but it allows a interested   
   party (may be a copyright holder) to check that you are complying with the    
   said   
   notices.
