How did the system get built in the first place?

If you just do one off steps then probably it doesn't matter. If you are
doing this to hand off copies to a few personal friends, no one is going to
care. If you are going to put stuff up on the web noncommercially, you should
read through at least GPL v2 as at least the kernel is covered by that and 
do your best at complying with one of the ways of pointing to source. (There
is an exception for some nonxommercial cases that let you point to others
for the source, but make sure it applies in your case.) If you are doing
this commercially, you should be talking to a lawyer.
