Clarification on MAVROS Triple Licensing #1954

Closed joseVolair closed 1 week ago

joseVolair commented 1 month ago

Quick question about the triple licensing.

Can MAVROS be used under the BSD license alone if there are no modifications to the source code? Or would I have to incorporate the more restrictive GPL and LGPL licenses with it if I ship binaries with the unaltered mavros code?

Trying to use MAVROS in a project with a BSD license that uses MAVROS to communicate between the autopilot and an offboard computer. I saw that issue #220 was created to open up the repo for BSD licenses but I do not understand how the other two licenses come into play.

You may use any license of the list you fit. So yes, you can use mavros as a BSD licensed program. Just if you contribute back, you agree that it'll be available on other two licenses as well.
