It clearly is not compatible with GPL-3+. They claim copyright, but don't provide rights to modify or distribute, so it remains their exclusive right. These rights must be granted to be compatible with the GPL-3+. >From the FIT SDK Agreement: " The Licensee agrees that it will not distribute, transfer, or otherwise provide the FIT SDK and source code files to any person or entity other than employees of Licensee who have a need to have access to such information. The FIT SDK and source code files and any other information provided by Dynastream to Licensee hereunder are confidential and proprietary information of Dynastream, and Licensee agrees that it will not use or disclose any of such information other than as expressly permitted under this Agreement. " The first sentence of this paragraph makes the SDK files clearly non-free and incompatible with the GPL.
