"any of [your] source" is a bit ambiguous.. they are certainly entitled to those portions of your source which are derivative works. depending on the project and its organization, this may or may not be all of your source. </p> <p>the software is released under an MIT license (except for ST's code)... <a href="https://github.com/leaflabs/libmaple/blob/master/LICENSE" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/leaflabs/libmaple/blob/master/LICENSE</a> </p> http://forums.leaflabs.com/topic.php?id=552#post-2952 Fri, 03 Dec 2010 16:48:31 +0000 TcLeaf 2952@http://forums.leaflabs.com/ <p>Hi,<br /> I've searched the forum topics and read the license page on your site, as well as the wiki pages, but I still do not have a clear picture of licensing. If there is a thread/page I missed please let me know and I will go there instead. The information I found leaves a lot of room for interpretation. The specific questions I have with respect to the maple are:</p> <p>1. Free to use as a hobbyist. I think this one fine. </p> <p>2. If I design a product as a hobbyist, and sell it to someone, is that someone entitled to any of my source code or hardware design?</p> <p>3. If I design a product as a business, and sell it to someone, is that someone entitled to any of my source code or hardware design?</p> <p>Thanks </p>
