I work on a product that uses Buildroot, which doesn't really act like a "package manager" in the sense that libraries.io seems to want. We also have a handful of FOSS projects that are just copied into our tree and applied on top of the base system. Is there any anticipation of support for that kind of situation?

I think there's a clear mapping of the Tidelift model to this, and there's also some customer demand from people building embedded systems.

As a practical matter it's a bit different from what we built first, both in terms of what customers are looking for / who the customers are, and in terms of the technical details of how we'd analyze dependencies. So we don't have support for it yet. But I would like to figure it out when we have enough team bandwidth.
