Note that although DISTRO_NAME has Busybox, which is a very small toolkit of utility applications, in some cases they do not have the required functionality and are replaced by the full versions. These replacements include: modprobe, cat, cp, gzip, gunzip, losetup, ls, mkdir, mv, rm, sed, sort, tar, wget, date, find, grep, fgrep and egrep.

Note that DISTRO_NAME applications are open source and are provided under various GPL licences. Any exceptions should be acknowledged in the /usr/share/doc/legal directory of the build.
