I understood this question was about the license agreement.  If I 
interpret Brenden's question correctly, the OpenBMC project retrieves 
code from many other projects and is itself licensed for use variously 
with the MIT and Apache licenses which are permissive and allow someone 
to use the code in a commercial project.

Additionally, the build process has an option to create a "bill of 
materials" (BOM) which lists all source projects retrieved along with 
their licenses.  However, I don't have direct experience with this, and 
you would typically have your lawyers review your situation.

See for example:

https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc/blob/master/poky/LICENSE

https://github.com/openbmc/bmcweb/blob/master/LICENCE

https://github.com/openbmc/phosphor-dbus-interfaces/blob/master/LICENSE
