Confgenerator license

Open mtboswell-aeroseal opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Would it be possible to obtain the header files which are required to use the confgenerator.c file generated the VESC tool under a license other than the GPL? We would like to implement software to configure a VESC device from our device's microcontroller without requiring our firmware to be GPL’d as well.

Which header file are you referring to?

confgenerator.h includes datatypes.h, which then includes a bunch of other stuff. At the top of datatypes.h and the files it includes it states the license as GPL3. Thanks for taking a look at this.

Was there an intent for other software to be able to configure a VESC that way? Or was that feature intended for something else?
