Hi all, I just got an email from Beckhoff in which they stated, the restriction on redistribution only applies to the website and that they are absolutely fine with us implementing a new driver based on the spec.
They did point out that they have their own open-source driver available at GitHub which is MIT licensed and they would like us to use that cause then they would provide support … just had a look and it’s C++ so I guess we’re not able to use that for Java. https://github.com/Beckhoff/ADS Anyway we are good to go with using the spec to implement our own driver and we can also use above project as a reference for implementing.
