RE: FREERTOS LICENSE - TEXT ON PRODUCT MANUALPosted by Richard on July 29, 2008 Well I'm not a lawyer - but as far as I am concerned that is more than sufficient, and I am the project owner so its up to me - and I'm on record here as saying such :o)
I would be interested in knowing what your product is - send me an email directly (r [dot] barry *at* freertos.org) if you don't want to post it here.
