    <title>topic Licensing and open-source status for MR-VMU-TROPIC GitHub repository in Drones and Rovers</title>

    <description>&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;DIV class=""&gt;Hello,&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV class=""&gt;I am having a look at the&amp;nbsp;MR-VMU-TROPIC FMU base board. The &lt;A href="https://nxp.gitbook.io/vmu-rt1176/tropic" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;documentation on GitBook&lt;/A&gt; explicitly states: "&lt;SPAN&gt;They are both opensource designs and may be copied and recreated as you wish."&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV class=""&gt;However, the &lt;A href="https://github.com/NXP-Robotics/MR-VMU-TROPIC" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;official GitHub repository&lt;/A&gt; currently lacks a LICENSE file, despite being described as an "&lt;SPAN&gt;Open-Source FMU base board" also there, which makes it&amp;nbsp;&lt;/SPAN&gt;difficult to use or adapt the design files safely.&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV class=""&gt;I noticed there have been recent updates in the repository. Could the team add a standard open-source license file (such as the BSD-3-Clause license used on the &lt;A href="https://github.com/NXP-Robotics/TropicCommunityVMU" target="_blank" rel="noopener"&gt;TropicCommunityVMU&lt;/A&gt;) to the GitHub repository?&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;DIV class=""&gt;Thank you!&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;DIV class=""&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;</description>
