@vishal Hi, it’s all under the GPL… firmware ones will be down in /usr/share/licenses or /usr/share/doc/packages.

For the modules, grep the license eg;

/sbin/modinfo i915 | grep license
license:        GPL and additional rights

Ref: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.3/process/license-rules.html
Ref: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.12/process/ SP5 Kernel

You can also see the license information in the output from the SCC package search and save to a file, eg;

Name,Version,License,Architecture,Module
....
kernel-source,4.12.14-122.7.1,GPL-2.0,noarch,SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP5
kernel-source,4.12.14-122.51.2,GPL-2.0,noarch,SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP5
kernel-source,4.12.14-122.46.1,GPL-2.0,noarch,SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 SP5
