Hi,

 

I want to know about FNET License policy.

 

That's hard to understand to me.

 

Can I use the FNET V0.7.0 bootloader to my commercial products or projects?

 

Could you guys explain about this more easily?

 

And, which is the best way to use FNET V0.7.0 legally with modification of FNET V0.7.0 ?

 

Thank you in advance

Hi,

 

 

>> Can I use the FNET V0.7.0 bootloader to my commercial products or projects?
Yes, you can.

The FNET code http://fnet.sourceforge.net/ is under the GNU Lesser General Public License
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html.
Briefly, it means that you can do with FNET what ever you want, you should NOT open your proprietary code.
The only obligation is, if you do changes in the FNET source codes (fixes, improvements rtc.), you should open them, make them available to community (or send directly to the FNET project).

 

Best regards,
Andrey Butok
