I have a question regarding the license for the Fast Models Crypto plugin:
developer.arm.com/.../Fast Models
During installation, the following part of license grant is provided:
Subject to your compliance with the terms and conditions of this License Arm hereby grants to you a license to use the Arm Tools (or components thereof) for the purpose of: (a) building, developing, testing, debugging, analysing and optimising Your Software or Your Hardware; and(b) generation of Your Reports, and use of Your Reports to develop, test, debug, analyse and optimise Your Software or Your Hardware.
My question is:
Can the Fast Models Crypto plugin be used in a commercial project for testing purposes free of charge, or does it require obtaining a separate commercial license?
There are no commercial use restrictions for the plugin. Bear in mind that the plugin requires the FVP or the Fast Models product, which may apply commercial use restrictions. See associated license conditions for details.
That is, I can use FVP_Base_RevC-2xAEMvA (Linux) + Crypto plugin for free of charge to develop and test my commercial product and I am not going to use the name or logo of ARM for marketing or other purposes, right?
FVP_Base_RevC-2xAEMvA_11.29_42_Linux64.tgzdeveloper.arm.com/.../Arm Architecture FVPs
FastModels_crypto_11.29.042_Linux64.tgzdeveloper.arm.com/.../Fast Models
As far as I can see, the text of the FVP license is identical to that of the Crypto plugin license (FastModels_crypto_11.29.042_Linux64_armv8l/license_terms/license_agreement.htm).
The ARM representative, Daniel Owens, stated that the use of the Crypto plugin for commercial purposes for testing is allowed free of charge.
This implies that the same conditions apply to the FVP as well, given the identical license text.
It's strange that the ARM representatives are not responding to your clarifying question.
It would be interesting to hear their opinion.
