''BlueZ''<ref>{{cite web |title=BlueZ |url=http://www.bluez.org/ |access-date=20 July 2021}}</ref> is a Bluetooth stack for [[Linux kernel]]-based family of operating systems. Its goal is to program an implementation of the Bluetooth wireless standards specifications for Linux. As of 2006, the BlueZ stack supports all core Bluetooth protocols and layers.<ref name=embedded-audio-linux>{{cite journal |author1=Selim Çιracι |author2=Evren Karaca |author3=Mark Reşat Pariente |date=2006-05-19 |title=Bluetooth Audio Streaming on Linux-Based Embedded Devices |publisher=[[Bilkent University]] |url=http://www.ug.bcc.bilkent.edu.tr/~resat/Resources/cs515term.pdf |access-date=2007-03-05 }} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}}<!-- https://web.archive.org/web/20040618131616/http://www.ug.bcc.bilkent.edu.tr:80/~resat/Resources/p2p-rep-tms.pdf https://www.computer.org/csdl/proceedings-article/ccgrid/2004/8430251/12OmNx6g6oI https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/MR-Pariente-70130589 https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/MR-Pariente-70130589 https://web.archive.org/web/20060413140904/http://www.demar.com.tr/%7Emark/mark.htm https://web.archive.org/web/20060413140903/http://www.demar.com.tr/%7Emark/propaganda.htm --></ref> It was initially developed by [[Qualcomm]], and is available for [[Linux kernel]] versions 2.4.6 and up. In addition to the basic stack, the bluez-utils and bluez-firmware packages contain low level utilities such as dfutool which can interrogate the Bluetooth adapter chipset to determine whether its firmware can be upgraded. BlueALSA is a Bluetooth audio ALSA backend that allows the use of Bluetooth-connected audio devices without the use of PulseAudio or PipeWire.<ref>https://wiki.debian.org/Bluetooth/Alsa</ref><ref>https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Bluetooth#ALSA</ref>

BlueZ is licensed under the [[GNU General Public License]] (GPL), but reported to be on its way toward switching to the [[GNU Lesser General Public License]] (LGPL).<ref name=BlueZAndroid>{{cite web|url=https://lwn.net/Articles/597293/|title=Returning BlueZ to Android|date=2014-05-06|quote=BlueZ for Android (BfA) provides a "drop-in replacement" for BlueDroid, which means that apps do not need to change...The laundry list of BlueDroid deficiencies also dropped to near zero by swapping BlueZ in...In addition, BfA has been developed as part of the open-source BlueZ project...It is also notable that BlueZ is on its way toward switching to the LGPL. Roughly 80% of the code is already licensed that way, with more coming, though it was not clear when that job would be finished.While it was never said in the presentation, the clear implication of Holtmann's talk was that Google made a poor choice in switching to BlueDroid. |work=[[LWN.net]]}}</ref>
