I had a quite longish discussion with TI DSP OSS support about a year ago. And after some weeks of back an forth the guy said, that they (TI) would have no problem with open source code being developed with this toolchain and even binary versions of the code being redistributed - as long as noone makes money from using the toolchain, I guess. I also explicitely pointed him to this "development board" exception in the license agreement and his reaction was more or less "as long as you use it with TI CPU it is fine", which would be hard not to do ;) Here is the final full quote from Thomas Maughan from TI: --- Nils, I've got quite a busy schedule right now - here's the quick answer. Providing source and binaries that are your work is OK - just don't post the tools themselves. Your posts would only then be useful to those that are equipped with the same Linux DSP Tools which means they've installed and agreed to the license.
