Remove all software that can't be used in a commercial way

[Dexkalibur]

Hi,

I would like to use the Raspberry Pi 3B in combination with Raspbian for a commercial project.

It would be great if this thread could be used to collect all commands that are necessary to do this since there are already a lot of commercial projects out there and more are to be expected in the future.

If you find a mistake or can add a command that is missing here then it would be great if you could add this.

Ok, using forum search I found this:

Remove Wolfram

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get -y --auto-remove purge wolfram-engine
sudo rm /usr/share/raspi-ui-overrides/application/wolfram-*

Any more?

The Raspberry Pi Org image of Raspbian also has Java SE Platform Products, licensed to you under the Oracle Binary Code Licence Agreement. https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/

Does the topic title mislead by suggesting that you only want to retain commercial software?

It is meant to remove all software that can't be used in a commercial way.

Install synaptic and let it show you all non-free stuff.

My list removes bout 2 GB, making Raspbian almost as light as Raspbian Lite:

A better heading would be to state your development requirement, PHP, C, Cobol, Fortran, then ask about removing everything not needed. As an example, I have one Pi dedicated to Web experiments and I remove everything that is not PHP, MySQL, Nginx. Another Pi is a NAS and has the same long list of non NAS deletions. The main effect is to remove the amount of downloads for software updates.

The NAS uses an external disk for NAS storage, making any disk space saving irrelevant. The Web Pi uses a 32 GB microSD, making any disk space saving irrelevant. The boot times do not change. I get the most speedup by buying faster microSD cards.

The menus are less distracting with unused stuff removed.
