It doesn't take away from the point that the thing exists, but the licensing for this sort of stuff is almost always horrid. You're sparing yourself the headache of semi-supported open-source options, but it always feels like anything you saved by doing that is completely offset and then some by getting your balls busted in perpetuity by whatever vendor you went with. I don't blame anybody for sending these types of things to the mental trash bin when they see them.

- seabird 5y agoI'm gonna be honest -- I don't entirely understand what you're trying to say. Are you implying that the work needs to be paid for it get done? Of course that's the case, and open source embedded libraries can and do make plenty of money through consulting without having to annoy the customer with per-architecture and/or per-product licensing, and without having to hire salespeople to convince customers that that's necessary.
