Question regarding license #13

Closed lmajewski closed 7 months ago

lmajewski commented 1 year ago

Dear Microchip,

I would like to ask about the SPDX (https://spdx.org/licenses/) license which corresponds for this code.

What are the terms of using the oa-tc6-lib ?

tkummermehr commented 1 year ago

Dear Imajewski,

we use our own proprietary license: https://github.com/MicrochipTech/oa-tc6-lib/blob/main/Microchip_SLA001.md

Thanks for the reply.

I've read the pointed above document. However, I couldn't find any information if this license is under the Open Source Initiative (OSI) - https://opensource.org/licenses/

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like it is NOT.

For the project on which I'm working (Zephyr) - it is required to be one of the listed ones. Do you have any future plans to release the TC6 OA library for T1S under one of OSI licenses? To be more specific - the Apache 2.0 would be the most optimal one.

Dear Imajewski,

it is true, our license is not on that list.

For further discussions (as GitHub is not the right place to do that), please create a support ticket.
