Hi,
I’ve noticed on our site we refer to the Arduino Zero, Zero Pro and M0
Pro as supported platforms, when in fact: Mynewt does not support these
platforms out of the box — you need to get support for them from
Runtime externally:
https://github.com/runtimeinc/mynewt_arduino_zero
We’re, of course, happy to contribute Arduino Zero support back to the
project, however, we haven’t been able to bundle it with Mynewt,
because of the Atmel Software Framework license, which specifically
states:
* 4. This software may only be redistributed and used in connection
with an
* Atmel microcontroller product.
I have contacted Atmel about this license, and they have confirmed (in
email) that Mynewt redistributing these files is not in violation of
their license. As these files are used for hardware support on the
Atmel platform. However, this license does not work within the context
of ASF approved licenses.
I’m wondering: can we get an exception from ASF legal? What would the
process of doing that be - I imagine we just contact legal@. I’d
prefer to have Atmel support in the core, so we can just maintain it
there, instead of having to synchronize support packages from Runtime.
