To be honoust: I haven't seen a(n embedded) linux device without a
/proc. Especially for IDS you need something bigger, so I expect a
/proc to be there.

It might be confusing, but there are a lot of OS's out there that
look and feel like a restricted kind of linux. Usually it is
called BSD, but there is also vxworks etc. ...
BSD was mainly used in nokia firewalls with checkpoint
firewalling software installed. (A nokia firewall is just
another very expensive PC).

Anyway: if you can't cat /proc/version, you have to do a lot of
work to convince me it does run linux :-).

As for the licensing notice legals, IANAL...
