MicroPython is fully open-source and available at https://github.com/micropython/micropython https://github.com/micropython/micropython . The ESP8266 port of it, developed within Kickstarter campaign, will be open-sourced too: either immediately, if enough funds will be collected to ensure its support and maintenance for a reasonable time (until it becomes self-sustained by the community); or in few months otherwise, to let us to have a chance to pitch it to commercial vendors and get needed funding in such way.
The fact that it's MIT licensed means that if you want to make your own products with it, you'll be able to do it, with minimal hassle for you and your customers.
- tylerflick 11y agoHow do we get involved if we would like to contribute to this project?
- pfalcon 11y agoThe github link is above (that's where the development happens). If you're interested in ESP8266 port specifically, currently the best way to contribute is to back Kickstarter campaign, and spread the word about it. (We ran ESP8266 as community project for some time, and that code is available in the git right away, and few people got quite far with it, but as a co-maintainer of MicroPython, I have to admit that it lacks many things, and have some issues - that's why we started a Kickstarter, to develop it in professional manner).
