Hello icebear Formal considerations about legality. ice> Hmm, is the GS scheme among the people? Among the people. Firmware too? Same. What's the problem? It is enough to transfer the circuit to another element base, board topology just change it - after that there is no talk of copyright infringement it will, but using native firmware is a direct violation of copyright (up to 6 years of imprisonment). So what if you rewrite the firmware again (especially that the sources, as they say, exist), then there will be no barriers to production. Join forces, rewrite the firmware - and move forward. And if the board is not equipped with firmware, there are also no problems with There will be no copyright infringement. At the same time, everyone decides the issue themselves firmware, and if you do not use it for commercial purposes, but only for research (which is permissible by law), then there is no copyright infringement there will be.
