Busybox Source Distribution

[jheaff1]

Hi,

May I ask how you handle the distribution of Busybox source code along with your debug containers (Busybox is licensed under GPL). I am using the distroless cc Debian 10 debug image as a base image for my application and I’m curious to know how Google handle licensing with Busybox; I would like to do something similar rather than reimplement the wheel

It is not even compiled: https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/distroless/blob/main/busybox_archives.bzl

But see https://github.com/docker-library/busybox/blob/master/stable/musl/Dockerfile.builder for the details.

Note that some architectures come from a different place (i.e. upstream)
