OpenMax ARM implementation license.

Note: This was originally posted on 8th September 2011 at http://forums.arm.com

Hello,

What is the licence policy regarding the publicly available ARM OpenMax DL implementation for Cortex A8 that can be download here  ?
On each file there is a copyright but there is no license file explaining what can be done with this work.

From that site its seems that there is a "license granted to these functions entitles the user to integrate them into their own products at no cost", but I cannot found any trace of that license anywhere ?
Can someone enlighten this ?


Thanks
Frederic

    Click the "download" button on the arm.silver download portal - you'll get a click-though EULA with the terms of use.

    Hi Isogen74,

    Thanks for your reply, there is indeed an EULA when I try to download the OpenMax sample code (in C) from here or the optimized code in for ARM 11 (OpenMAX for ARM 11xx Bundle (OX001-BU-00010))
    , but for the cortex A8 optimization there is no such license (check here)... so I am still wondering which license correspond to that implementation.

    Thanks

    Hello Frederic,
    Not sure if this issue is still one for you...
    You might have already accepted that EULA as I do get a licence confirmation screen for OpenMAX for Cortex-A8 Bundle (OX002-BU-00010) too.
    Kind regards,
    Alban
