Nordic’s Middleware is available under a standard BSD 3-clause license. https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-tools/Development-Tools/nRF-MDK/Download https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-tools/Development-To...
Their middleware and DRIVER library is first rate, also BSD: https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/nrfx/blob/master/LICENSE https://github.com/NordicSemiconductor/nrfx/blob/master/LICE...
They are a first-tier active founding member and supporter of the Zephyr RTOS project by the Linux Foundation.
They’ve partnered with Segger for free use of Segger’s embedded studio for Nordic chips.
If a fraction of other companies did a fraction of THAT, Open Source would be soooo far ahead!
- gspr 6y agoWow, that's great! Thanks for letting me know, I'll definitely take a closer look! Incidentally, do you know why they choose to keep such a restrictive SDK license when they seem otherwise FOSS-friendly?
- an_d_rew 6y agoNo idea, I have no affiliation with them at all. If I had to hazard a guess, I’d say “evolutionary history”, because that’s almost always the case, in my experience.
