Lineo has established a website dedicated to disseminating the company's open source software contributions, as well as a number open source tools and utilities that might be useful to developers of embedded systems. Included among the open source projects covered on the site are: BusyBox, TinyLogin, uCLibc, uClinux, PoPToP, and ThinLinux. Also provided, is an section with “cool Open Source software . . . for making embedded systems”. Included there are approximately a dozen utilities and tools considered useful to developers of embedded Linux based systems.

Quoting from the introductory text on the Lineo open source site: “We encourage you to download and try all the software from this site, and we hope that you will find some of what we have useful. If you have an open-source project that you know of that is languishing and you think we might want to maintain and enhance let us know and we will check it out. This site is primarily focused on software related to embedded systems, but if it is lean, trim, and tiny, we are probably interested. Oh, and software that is useful is always a good thing. If you want to help, or find that that one little bug that is bothering you, we would love to see your patches. If you are really serious, and want to help develop the code, we would love to give you write access to the source tree.”
