Hey there, me and my buddy are working with the ADAU1701 and arduino to do a senior project and stumbled across the SigmaDSP repo. We were wondering what your plan for licensing this code was since there is a small chance we could take or project to market. Thanks!

Great to hear you find this library useful! Personally, I'd like to have it under the MIT license. However much of the code is derived from the AidaDSP project. @AidaDSP is it OK for you if I license this library under MIT?

@MaxPayne86 any thoughts on this?

MaxPayne86 commented 5 years ago

Hi, my library is under GPL license as stated in the official repo, so you cannot change the license to MIT as far as I know. I encourage you to release your library under the same license of mine ;).

Hi, I'm just providing some references for my previous post. Any thoughts @MCUdude ?

MIT licensed software can be integrated into GPL software, but not the other way around

LGPL-3.0 is fine for me. According to tldrlegal, you can use this library in a closed-source project, but if you do modifications to the library it (the library) has to be kept open source.
