Hi

After reading the license for the CMSIS I am a little bit confused.
  • Is it ok to include the CMSIS code in a open source project for Cortex M based mcu:s?
  • Is it ok if that project is under the GPL license?
  • Is it ok if that project is under the Apache2.0 license?
Thanks Johan

    Hello Johan,
    There is unfortunately no "blanket answer". It depends on what you part of CMSIS use and where.
    That is why ttfn advised the lawyer to look at it. Any post in a forum would only be a personal interpretation anyway...
    Regards, Alban.
