The FreeRTOS GPL Exception Text:
|
||||
|
||||
The GPL license text follows.
|
||||
Any FreeRTOS source code, whether modified or in it's original release form,
|
||||
or whether in whole or in part, can only be distributed by you under the terms
|
||||
of the GNU General Public License plus this exception. An independent module is
|
||||
a module which is not derived from or based on FreeRTOS.
|
||||
|
||||
Clause 1:
|
||||
|
||||
Linking FreeRTOS statically or dynamically with other modules is making a
|
||||
combined work based on FreeRTOS. Thus, the terms and conditions of the GNU
|
||||
General Public License cover the whole combination.
|
||||
|
||||
As a special exception, the copyright holder of FreeRTOS gives you permission
|
||||
to link FreeRTOS with independent modules that communicate with FreeRTOS
|
||||
solely through the FreeRTOS API interface, regardless of the license terms of
|
||||
these independent modules, and to copy and distribute the resulting combined
|
||||
work under terms of your choice, provided that
|
||||
|
||||
+ Every copy of the combined work is accompanied by a written statement that
|
||||
details to the recipient the version of FreeRTOS used and an offer by yourself
|
||||
to provide the FreeRTOS source code (including any modifications you may have
|
||||
made) should the recipient request it.
|
||||
|
||||
+ The combined work is not itself an RTOS, scheduler, kernel or related product.
|
||||
|
||||
+ The independent modules add significant and primary functionality to FreeRTOS
|
||||
and do not merely extend the existing functionality already present in FreeRTOS.
|
||||
|
||||
Clause 2:
|
||||
|
||||
FreeRTOS may not be used for any competitive or comparative purpose, including the
|
||||
publication of any form of run time or compile time metric, without the express
|
||||
permission of Real Time Engineers Ltd. (this is the norm within the industry and
|
||||
is intended to ensure information accuracy).
|
||||
|
||||
A special exception to the GPL is included to allow you to distribute a
|
||||
combined work that includes FreeRTOS without being obliged to provide
|

the source code for any proprietary components. See the licensing section
