Does NI's license let you push to docker hub? #3

I'd rather push my images there, but haven't because of licensing.

A workaround for this would be to only extract the system headers/etc which are almost certainly GPL, in which case it's not a big deal. You (probably?) don't need the NI specific things anyways for the purposes of this repo.

auscompgeek commented 4 years ago

As I understand, the purpose of this repo is to enable the running of binaries built for the roboRIO, so only having headers wouldn't exactly be useful.

I have my concerns here as well. From a cursory read of NI's FRC license, you can only redistribute NI's software (made available for FRC use) to teams for use solely in FIRST's competitions, provided that a copyright notice is supplied and a copy of the EULA is passed through.

That said, IANAL.

I'm not totally sure. Adding the right copyright notice and EULA is straightforward. Do we have any contacts at NI we could ask about this?
