Hi Antonio,
I'm really skeptical they would agree to change the license.
Why would they not agree? They sell hardware. If more people can use their
hardware (eg. through OpenOCD), that's better for their sales.
P&E Micro also sell software of various kinds that are used along with
their hardware, and they get paid by companies like NXP to provide
software. If the DLL's are part of those packages, it would surprise me
if they were willing to change their license without a great deal of
incentive (i.e., convincing them that they'll sell a lot more hardware).
But it is still worth talking to them about it. It might even be worth
talking to the NXP folk about it, since they are the ones behind the
pypemicro software.
mvh.,
David

Did anyone contact P&E Micro directly, to ask them if they can change the

If not - I'm willing to give it a try ^_^
Kind regards,

Hi Kristof,
thanks for your offer.
I'm really skeptical they would agree to change the license.
It could be more realistic asking for the USB protocol description,
eventually under NDA, limited to the only purpose of supporting their
adapter in OpenOCD.
But in this case, we need someone interested/available in doing the
driver's coding.
Antonio
